Actually, I think this and the previous LC designs have been bretty "boring". In that sense, they did a great job. LC never really stood out in terms of styling in my book, but in terms of reliability, comfort, and off-road prowess. In those areas, I'm sure this new LC won't disappoint.

p.s. nobody noticed how CRAZY the CRAWL is... when GX was launched, it was first car that can go downhil at 8kmh (Land Rovers did 12kmh at the time, big diff), now new LC has 1-5kmh control - this is first in the world, and nobody else has electronic systems that can work at that speed (usually they get disabled below 6-8kmh).
And Euro version gets 290hp diesel with 480ft of torque... no diesels in Toyotas :-)

I saw somewhere that the JDM version gets an improved 4.7L V8, 53hp increase. Not sure if that would make it 280hp or 300+hp, as the USDM models were more powerful IIRC.
I'm guessing most of these land cruisers will be sold in the middle east, the are pretty popular over there. One can imagine how expensive the LX is going to be if the LC costs this much.
Anybody willing to speculate as to why the 5.7 does not have D4-S direct injection?

Between the GX, LX, LC and Sequoia, Toyota has me absolutely confused on what the hell all these models are about.
Between Lexus and Toyota we have Rav4, Highlander, 4Runner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Tundra, RX, GX, LX (some are crossovers) as SUV's/trucks. That's a whopping 10 models. HALP!
