Bet it will end up like the FJ. Once you get past the quirky/toy looks it’s just a 4Runner for $10-15k more. The Lexus GX is a far better value for the money. I think the LC sales will underperform in the long run.

I ordered the 1958 in black. Yes I lose a few things. But the “sway bar disconnect” gives you 10% more articulation on just the front…. Needed? No. Something to fix and work around if you alter the suspension…. Yes. I don’t need a bigger screen. I would like the cameras but again don’t need them. And once everyone here has a kid spill milk or similar in a ventilated seat…. Well…. You’ll change your mind.

They can even go lower than whatever is being offered there and still make a huge killing because they barely paid anything for our cars, except shipping and getting runners to steal them. And if its just the old models that are being sold there, then there will be an even BIGGER demand for these western models.

@georgetown8986 Ай бұрын

You can literally buy a brand new Land Cruiser and keep it for 3 years or so and it will cost you at most $10k in depreciation (if you keep the miles down and excellent condition). Land Rover / Range Rover will cost you $40k-$50k in depreciation over the same time period. And you have a better looking, more reliable vehicle while owning it. Plus, you don’t look like a maxed out credit card / lease special db while driving it like the Range Rover/G Wagon, etc.

Honestly i don't see why it matters how many cylinders there are. Horsepower and torque are more important. This is literally just a more numbers equals must be better argument lol. There's a reason why no one really makes V12s anymore either. A V8 or even a V6 can make just as much or more power and they're significantly more efficient, easier to maintain and are less complicated.
