I aagree with you...especially about post-modification improvement at least partially due to squaring off the 200’s overly rounded form via bumpers, etc. But it’s basic form certainly doesn’t strike me as hideous—like it did in ‘07.
My best guess. Toyota will follow Mercedes recipe on the new g wagen... squared off brutish looks with ultimate luxury inside

Personally I think the G wagon looks dorky and ridiculous. Like a jeeep that’s been hoity-toityized....
But far worse is the Rolls Royce SUV...
Just imagine breaking down in the boonies and trying to find parts for this thing...

I appreciate all series of Land Cruisers. Some have more favor in my eyes but we are very partial to the 2016+ 200-series and ultimately it's what momma wants so that's what it's gonna be lol.
I have the Power Wagon listed with a few very serious buyers, looks like it might be sold in the coming days. Once that happens we can start our search for the 200 to replace it.

Rumors : debut in late 2020 with twin-turbo V6 and 10-speed automatic gearbox

I'm a big fan of the current 200, but I agree there is a common design language that's evident in the Highlander.
That's concerning to me because they've just shown the Highlander redesign: All-new 2020 Toyota Highlander hybrid improves fuel efficiency
Could you imagine if there continues to be a common design language between this monstrosity and the new LC? *shudder*
I welcome the idea of a torquey, more efficient TT-V6 with a 10-speed.
It'll be interesting how many parts are shared with the Tundra this next time around, especially since the Tundra and Tacoma are moving to a shared platform, so there might be more parts shared between the 2 than just the frame. I also hope they adopt Lexus' move to using more high-strength steel and aluminum to try to cut weight where possible.
In the meantime, here's another artist rendering from Japanese magainze Best Car. I don't see it going this route since Toyota knows many customers replace the front bumper, but maybe something like this with a smaller grill opening.

The percentage of landcruiser owners ditching their factory bumper for armor = roughly zero. At least as far as toyota is concerned.
All my opinion, of course. But I can’t see that being a significant factor in Toyota’s design decisions.

Look like a Lexus without the spindle grille...
Look up the new Heritage Edition lc for 2020. I saw a story that the 300 series will be a v6
You call for your private helicopter on your satellite phone and have your assistant get hold of the Rolls-Royce dealer and have them pick up your car and fix it
Isn’t that the new HighlanderI welcome the idea of a torquey, more efficient TT-V6 with a 10-speed.

The Land Cruiser Is Dead. Long Live...Lexus?
The Land Cruiser leaves America in 2021, but Toyota's luxury brand seems poised to pick up the off-road torch.
Agreed! As long its made in JAPAN and not by dumbestic/ factory idiots...I am in. thank you!
Id be happy to see something made in the US. If Toyota can manufacture a high quality 200 in China they can build anything in the US.
Why would you think they can build a high-quality reliability 200 series in China have you ever seen one driven one I doubt they are as good as the ones made in Japan just like comparing vehicles made in the United States to ones manufactured in Japan JMHO
