Land Cruiser vs Range & Land Rover (1 Viewer)

[2021 LC200]

Not sure which series Land Cruiser this is, enjoyable to watch though…



After a quick search, looks like this is a Land Cruiser Prado J90.

When you know, you know. James Bond knows.

I remember telling my wife (or, did she tell me?) Bond, James Bond, is driving the right vehicle - as always!

Granted I have no idea or experience with merchandising in movies, but I wonder why Land Rover would agree to have an "old Toyota" beat the crap out of the "new Defender" and RRs in such a high profile movie. They heavily used the movie as a promo for the Defender, so I imagine paid good money for it and would have a say on it. I doubt Toyota paid the same...if paid anything at all.

probably better than if the new ones had been beaten up by an old RR?

Uhh...hard to say...in that case at least it would have stayed "in the family".

We know and appreciate what the good guy is driving!

Assume you all have seen this. There are several parts to it. They basically know in the UK that Toyota’s are almost indestructible.



My guess the Bond movie is taking the Mickey out of Land & Range Rover, which is a typical British approach to make fun of things.
