I looked at the new 200 today.

I drove by Precision Toyota here in Tucson, AZ today and saw this.
All I have to say is that it looks way better in person than in the initial factory photos. The color green it is looks good too.

John, Mesquite Tree......is that you?

I got to see one last week at the dealer...


YAWWWNNN .....


72K... for what ?!!

 

[hks3sgte]

For that cool color!

We got to see it at Toyota's 50th.

I kind of felt like they invited the Land Cruiser owners to try and convince us to buy the new 200.

Shotts,

No, this is his son Joel.

I believe the price is to high when compared with the 570 however we are in the USA where, if it's it expensive, it's got to be good, RIGHT!.

Thanks for posting Joel. I'm going to look at in a few hours. I am ready to pounce on the thing if I feel it's worth it and I can build it.

Get it and start building! This one appears to have all options including the cool box and remote start. I like the keyless go and crawl control.

damn, is that real or simulated wood trim? either way, it comes across as plastic (similar to the bmw trim)

the wood looks very different in real life. it's almost a black wood. The interior looks nice in person. The flash photos mess that up.
I am not sure if it's real wood or not, for $70K it better be. The finish over the top is not the usual gloss clear, rather a matte finish that is more touch-friendly. I am sure the LX version w/ have the gloss clear over brighter color wood.

And let me know if you get a deal or have to pay msrp. We are thinking about getting one as well. I woudl really like to know the price fo the 570 before pulling the trigger... since the 570 comes standard with nav, xm, etc.

 

[uzj100]

I heard the 570 will be closer to 80k. The one pictured here is $72k and the one I saw yesterday was $69k.

gregtay,
the LC is nice but for $70K, it's a bit de-contented. I'd wait for the LX to compare... you'd get a better deal at that time too if you decide on the LC.

IF SOMEBODY WANTS AHC...then wait for the LX. IF you want to wheel, you don't want AHC so no wait is needed.

well then you go buy one and wheel it skippy

I'll wait 13 years just like I did on this one and score a deal!

Not liking the LC look as much as the LX; at the last car show I attended a month ago I saw a Mercedes GL550, and I must say I
was fairly impressed with the exterior looks; and overall the interior looked much better than the 08 LC; don't get me wrong the Legendary LC has its place in my heart, I only wish it would catch my eye the way the Mercedes Gl did. I think I am swinging towards the 08 LX this time!
