I sat in one: My take on it (2 Viewers)

Ouch!

That's true. It began with the FJ55 and continued.

Ouch!

It's true. Before the wagons/SUV/vans were the Jeeps D) and pickups.

Shotts you forgot the FJ45LV....

Shotts you forgot the FJ45LV....

YES! Man, those were sweeeet!

 

[rove_mcanus]

this makes the new 70 series wagon i'm seeing in australia much more appealing. 4 doors, solid front axle, v8 turbo diesel as standard (only one turbo though ) and 5 speed manual/standard cog swapper. coils front and leaves rear.

Now that's a real land cruiser

get your FJC while your can, because the 200 is gona suck.

 

[Christian]

Excuse me, but what the hell is the stange doohikey on the left front wing? It's even on the models???

 

[imprator]

It's a blind-spot mirror.

It is fitted to huge numbers of 4x4's in Japan. I don't know if it's a fashion, or a legal requirement.

It does work well, although it looks a little strange to the unfamiliar eye.

I thought it was more for parking as they often need to park right up against a wall because some of the streets are so tight.

As well as not dropping the left wheel(s) into a ditch, trying to move over all the way to the leftesthillbilly side of the road while squeezing past an on-coming vehicle in insanely narrow streets.

I don't have one of those mirrors, but wish I did sometimes.

Do we need to give you a history lesson......its the 45LV

Yes it will. I can't imagine a 0-60 or 0-100 run between your 100 and the new 2008.

I'm sure the seats are removable. Just not as easy as before. Thanks for the report Mot!!

Yeah a cutting torch works really well. That was pretty stupid of Toyota in my opinion.

I wasn't impressed. The 100 series is much nicer in my opinion.

We got a box of the full brochures today and we will have an example soon.


It's a damn Highlander in a "plus" size............

Big-n-Tall folks will like it...


My 65 grand will be spent elsewhere.

This might have been stated somewhere, but I've read in a magazine that at least in Europe (thought they were not going to be offered there anymore though) are going to get the 4.?ltr twin-turbocharged diesel engine with 286bhp and 66kg(sorry I forgot the Newton figure thingy).

They only mentioned the gasoline engine for the N. America though...

Let's wait until we see the underpinnings.
