LC300 in 2021
LC180 in 2022


According to BestCarWeb, the long-awaited successor to the Land Cruiser 200 will be on dealership floors in Japan by April 2021. Interestingly, the publication claims a new-generation Land Cruiser Prado will follow late in 2022.

Just to add to the article Grips posted.

If the posted figures are indeed true, then the power in the new 300 would be rather disappointing

I don't like it. Looks way to much like the current 200. Also looks like a Patrol from the side. Interior is also a bit of a let down.

But......Let's see one in the flesh. Maybe/Hopefully I change my mind

Currently the 200 (in South Africa) comes in 2 models; Stripped down GX & fully loaded VX (they added L & R lately, but that's essentially it).

The new model will probably come here in 3 or 4 trim levels.
So a direct comparison will be difficult.

I reckon the top of the range 300 (@ launch) will be about 12% more than the current 200VX-L/VX-R.
But then a GR Sport will be added above that, later.

It’s such a horrible video. Land Cruiser 300 V8 🤣🤣

There’s a Youtuber called Kirk Kreiffels that I follow. He’s more brand loyal than Manny, but his videos are good.

I have to agree. Yawn

The thing’s been leaked months ago. Exterior, Interior and Engines.

Nothing new to excited about.

But I can understand why Manny’s excited. He only received the 2009 copy of Scope in his post box this week

Must admit I sort of shared Manny`s excitement. Can`t wait for proper road tests. I am anxious to see how the new engines will be up vs the outgoing one`s

Another overpriced gas guzzling oversized totally redundant Toyota.

I'll still take two 76 series instead of one 300.

You seem angry Ricoffy, do you need a hug?

My man-boobs have grown substantially since lockdown.

I wouldn't trust you with a hug.
