And with all the talk of heritage, build quality, and engineering we have yet to identify if the new Land Cruiser has the most readily identifiable feature o any true Land Cruiser. Does it have dual visors? The lx600 doesn’t.

I'm surprised the LX doesn't; here in Colorado I frequently use the dual visors on my commute so that a bummer.
I know the GX550 only has a single visor as well.

Blasphemous! First the split tailgate, then the single visor! What's next for the LC350? Going unibody?

No, i think next they reinitiate a cash for clunkers program but this time make it obligatory and start repossessing all our “real” land cruisers.

My old 2000 Tundra SR5 had dual visors and gas hood struts.
The reason why the 250 is $30k cheaper than the 200 is that it's $30k less automobile.

What in the hell? How much cost could that be?

No kidding?? Bummer. Seems like it would be an easy aftermarket add but can’t find one anywhere.I am disappointed too as that is one of my favorite feature. On the other hand 80 series, the one regarded as last real land cruiser does not have it eitherso it is part of the heritage....

The last real Land Cruiser is the 70 series. But in 2024, it too doesn't have a dual visor. Nor does it have a split tailgate.I am disappointed too as that is one of my favorite feature. On the other hand 80 series, the one regarded as last real land cruiser does not have it either

I bet there are hundreds of thousands of Land Cruiser owners that would disagree with this statement.
Real land cruisers have leaf springs… I don’t make the rules.

All HD 70's do have at least one pair of leaf springs. 
Real land cruisers have leaf springs. Early 70s count had leaves all around and late with at least leaves in the rear. Everything else is a a mistake. I don’t make the rules,70s and 80s have coils. You youngsters need to get your s*** straight!

Whatever buddy. I was driving those leaf sprung 70s overseas decades ago. I am well aware of what was made and when.
We are buddies
I’m just trying to follow your lead identifying real Land Cruisers. If we are gonna paint it in a box let’s at least get it right.
Leaf springs suck.
