I'll believe it when I see it. The other articles I have seen on this subject show a fugly Toyota concept vehicle that looks like a cross between a Jeep Patriot and a Pontiac Aztec.

I bought an 07 new, added 3" lift, 33" KM2s bumpers front and rear, sliders and full skids. Beat the crap out of that ruck on class 4 trails and it brought me home each time, once in front wheel drive. The thing that finally killed it for me was visibility issues and suicide doors.

Yep, test drove one the month they arrived at the dealership and was very underwhelmed with exactly what Stan grew frustrated by.....ended up buying a '98 LX470 and drove it for almost 10 years until Marshall (Trollhole) bought it for his wife about 3 years ago. I tend to be content with our newest vehicle being 1 generation older than what's brand new now. Looking forward to moving into a 200 series in a few years although I don't want to part with anything in the fold.....probably will require one of those conversations that @pkniland referred to in the For Sale/Wanted thread!
I too would like to see them bring the 1VD motor to this shore. I can pretty much guarantee that's not happening though. If anything, they'll do some sort of an electric motor assist to get a better crawl ratio...Or they'll just slap crawl control on it.
There are easily 200 options on the j**p. Engine, motor, long wheel, short wheel base, colors tops, etc,etc. The fjc did not hit the mark however the 4runner did. If they want to compete they will have to offer some options and toyota is not about options. J**p starts a $26k to who knows who much (i didnt want to build me one because it was going to say “get a Toyota, we dont have what you want”). So, if they come out with a subaru type of crossover. They will piss us all off but i wonder what percentage of LC followers do they want to target. We are a very small percentage of the market and to my knowledge no one on the this club has gone and buy a brand new landcruiser of the floor room. (Our love doesnt go that far $90k +). I see a crossover in the future or a element type of truck. I really hope i am wrong
I've always owned Jeeps until recently (currently having a FJ60 built). Jeeps are great except for the poor engine/build quality (haha). If Toyota came out with a high quality rival (with removable doors/roof) they would take huge mkt share from Jeep. I simply cannot understand their logic
