You’ve Seen and Felt, huh? Based on what I’ve heard from you, I’m not sure you’re the best at spotting quality in things. The 250 has a seriously impressive interior. The pillar handles feel great the rubber compound is aggressive yet comfy. The dashboard’s a perfect mix of textures and soft materials that feel really really good to the touch. I’m admitedly disgustingly picky but after sitting in a 200 I wasn’t as impressed by the materials compared to what’s found in this newer Cruiser.. The digital rearview mirror is nice and the seats feel and are super comfy. The gearshift feels solid and confident. The heads up display is a nice touch that you can turn off hif you want, but I think it’s done well. The navigation screen is sharp, and the A/C controls click just right. The headliner is smple and dark tying everything together. The off road controls are well placed. and the list goes on and on... Overall the meticulously crafted interior screams quality and really deserves a standing ovation.When you compare a BMW 3 and 5 series there are many similarities yet just about everything in a 5 series is bigger, better seats, more sound insulation etc etc
The 300 series is a true follow up and in many ways another step up from a 200 series. The 250 is a follow up of the 150 and a poor one from what I have seen and felt.
Watch some Aussie videos of Gross Vehicle Mass upgrades and it’s clear the 250 is a step down from the 300 series. There maybe some shared frame components but even there the 300 series is beefier.
Why do not 250 Prado owners take their energy in the 250 part of the forum instead of trying to convince real Land Cruiser owners what their Prado is?
But you, like Grendel in Beowulf, seem to just want to tear down the 250 out of spite instead of apreciating the quality. Kind of like how Grendel couldn’t stand the joy and noise from the mead hall you can’t seem to handle the craftsmanship in the 250 and are just looking for flaws where there are none. And just like Grendel who’s ultimately destroyed by his own hatred it seems like your attempts to tear down the 250 will only leave you with nothing but bitterness.
