would toyota go irs with the 200 ?

[mark71]

does any LC owner here really give's a rat's @$$ about these labels?

we drive relatively expensive, low profile vehicles for a reason.

let people like Pagemaster mentally masturbate with their internet automotive porn while the rest of us stay grounded in reality, earn the money to buy these high-dollar rigs, and ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF THEM!!!

I have never seen such an ownership group care so much about what others think of them. Land Cruiser owners are borderline-pretentious.

As people who drive IRS Land Rovers would say...."you are full of rubbish"

It is also important to note that the Land Cruiser is not 1 vehicle but a family of 2, even 3 vehicles with a myriad of variations all around the world.

Land Cruiser Wagon (200LC, Lexus LX)
Land Cruiser Prado (Prado, Lexus GX)
Land Cruiser 70 series.

If Pagemaster explored outside of his narrow bubble a bit he would see this. Take a look at Toyota websites from other countries, they don't have just 1 Land Cruiser. So when you claim that a Lexus GX had an option a year before a Land Cruiser, what your really saying is that a Land Cruiser had it before a Land Cruiser.

The flagship model understood by media and customers is the Prius. The Prius has the most engineering, most longevity, and reliabilty....Nothing in the Toyota line up comes close. Toyota has put so much money into this product, it is in fact the flagship, face and identity of the Toyota brand. it.

I'd love for you to come to our dealership and count the number of Prius's waiting for new battery packs because they die out in the heat...

Or the recall on the inverter cooler pumps for the 2nd Gen Prius...we've replaced almost 2000 so far...

The Prius is a marketing and cash cow vehicle. Nothing more, nothing less. It has no history, no heritage, no ethos. It is a bridge technology.

The Land Cruiser has these.

I'll probably never own a 200 series, but after watching them built I respect the hell out of them.

You are marketing mans dream

Doesn't the Tundra have a Tundra Reg Cab, Tundra Double Cab, and a Tundra Crew Max Cab....You see, the Tundra has more variants and configs than the Land Cruiser...Toyota has 2WD Tundra, work grade Tundra, 4wd Tundras, TRD Tundras, E85 Tundra....cut the bull s***.


Don't forget. The Land Cruiser also has that Land Cruiser Prado.....mmmmmmmmm, isnt' that a Lexus GX

The Prius is a marketing and cash cow vehicle. Nothing more, nothing less.

And the Land Cruiser is a over priced 8.9 inch high heel , with really horrible TOYOTA worst approach/depart angles... Nothing more, and a lot less less ground clearance than the Sequoia.

Ok Pagemaster, you WIN!!!! We are all bunch of pretentious suckers who got sucked into the Toyota marketing. You happy?

BTW, why do you like peeing on people's parade? Why do you monitor & post flawed faxts on a site that's dedicated for TLC enthusiasts?

I'd love for you to come to our dealership and count the number of Prius's waiting for new battery packs because they die out in the heat...

And I'd love for you to come down to Toyota Brampton and see the Land Cruiser 200 series with all the corrision underneath on the chassis. They can't sell the TuRD

 

[mark71]

because if you guys didn't talk to him, he wouldn't have any friends at all.

I knew all you Land Cruiser owners would pussy out in a fight.

Now let's see a Toyota Land Cruiser pick up79, SUV or troopie pull 10,000lbs

and clear an 8.9 inch tree stump

Your narrow mind completely missed my point. My thread was not about which Toyota vehicle had the largest number of variants. You where critical that a Lexus GX had an option a year before a Land Cruiser, when in essense they are the same vehicle.

I have more constructive conversations convincing my 13 month old not to eat dirt. There is no use having a conversation with you. You do not contribute anything of value to these technical threads other than your highly biased very skewed illogical, childlike thinking!

You turn every thread you touch into garbage.

It's absolutely fascinating that you still have no clue what it means when people refer to a product as a flagship. As has been stated before and confirmed by Toyota via press releases, the flagship 4wd is the LC and the flagship sedan in NA is the Avalon. I'm not sure how you know more about the Toyota product line than Toyota themselves.

Now here's something that's going to blow your mind - the Prius, while certainly not Toyota's flagship, could be considered their halo car. It's quite a stretch, but in the same way a traditional halo car brings customers to showrooms due to exclusivity and performance, the Prius brings people to the showroom thanks to it's efficiency and product recognition. I suspect there have been many people who have come to look at the Prius and balked at it's price or size and bought a similar-sized Corolla for less or a larger Camry for similar money. Clearly the the Lexus LFA is the companies traditional halo car but you could make a decent argument that the Prius is the brands halo. You can not however make a decent argument that the Prius is a flagship, because by definition, it is not.
