LC content - no pics. Finally have seen a few 2 and 4 door LC Prado's. Nice! Several FJ Cruisers and Hilux too.

Funniest-Scion xA is badged here as a Toyota Urban Cruiser. That's right, an Urban Cruiser!

I would have sworn that the Urban Cruiser was a model created for the US market. You learn something new every day.

:lol: Yep - it's a Scion Xa in the United States, and that is it in your pic. I think Toyota created the Scion brand in the US as the Toyota image was that of a more conservative brand and they wanted to attract a younger audience, thus the new brand.

200 series Lexus LX570 with a nice ARB rack spotted in the lot during lunch.

Funny you saw that truck! I've seen that LX a couple of times.

White one? Couldn't tell you where we were at, but it was a row of restaurants and close by was a very nice fitness facility and tennis/paddle tennis facility.

The one I've seen is silver IIRC. You were at BordeRío ;)
 
Don't work too hard while you’re down there Brent! I've heard nothing but good things about Santiago. Hopefully you can squeeze in some sight-seeing while your there.
 
Did the tourist thing Saturday with a half day tour of Santiago, old and new. Lots of fun. Sunday hit two wine tours - Emeliana and Casas Del Bosque. Good wines!!! Then headed down to Vina Del Mar to walk along the boardwalk/beach and have a wonderful Conger Eel for lunch/dinner. Gotta sample the local foods! To hell with what I can eat in the States!

Saw a beautiful blue FJ-40 on the way home from the beach on Route 68 just outside Santiago.
 
It's been a wonderful two weeks in Santiago, Chile, but I'm ready to fly home tonight. I know I've got a wonderful running truck just sitting in the driveway screaming for attention and driving!
 
One of my favoite wines is Gato Negro.
