New Land Cruiser

[Spleen Sauce]

Quite like the look of it. Will see how we go with the Discovery but might end up with one in a few years.

Great if you have sheep to rescue from a Welsh mountain side, or sour dough to pick up from Waitrose.

Jeez, anyone remember when driving a ******* brick around was considered seriously uncool?

Hey, you could always get the blacked-out one, so you can CosPlay as an FBI agent from some American TV series.

Forget LandCruiser 300 Series! Is Toyota going to go Bentley Bentayga or Rolls Royce Cullinan hunting with this new SUV? - Car News

Toyota has refreshed its luxurious Crown range with a divisive set of lifted sedans and SUVs as part of a realignment of its Japanese domestic luxury division, as well as a renewed export push for the nameplate, but the brand has even loftier expectations for its next SUV.

Just another obnoxiously large vehicle, to block up the narrow roads in city centres

Yes, because the main demographic for those buying these is as a city car, right?

The Land Cruiser seems widely favoured by suburbanite tailgating Karens with money and 2-3 kids, who want a fully featured family wagon.

Maybe I’m out of touch because I live in Rural Wales, but I know multiple Land Cruiser and Defender owners and none of them are angry Karens. I work in the city (Cardiff in this case) and I can’t say I’ve seen a glut of either car. That’s not to say that there aren’t large SUVs around of course, but neither of these.

Regardless, should we also ban vans, estate cars and anything bigger than an Aygo from cities? If public transport was actually decent, then maybe. But it isn’t.

Got two such individuals among my in-laws, and I dare say the wife would also have one if we could afford it.
They seem quite popular around the London-ish areas, and the London-commuter suburban areas like Kent, Reading, Oxford, etc... anywhere with an IKEA nearby. The most off-road driving they do is mounting pavements in shopping parades, and parking up on school football fields.

I am talking about the J80 series onward, though, specifically those with luxury features and swanky trim. It's basically a cheaper version of a Range Rover, for people who aren't posh landowners.

London is a law upon itself, you’re never far from a super car never mind a luxobarge
