Default This is how Toyota should sell the LC stock!!

Now this looks less like a highlander on steroids!

Make it look more like a 4WD that can actually go offroad instead of a mall cruiser! The soccer moms have the sequoia, leave the LC for the real MEN and please don't make it any bigger.

that poverty pack GT86 doesn't look so good, i prefer the high spec models! The Cruiser in the pic is actually a top spec model as well.

This is a factory spec model somewhere???

Looks like they added Tundra TRD wheels and an aftermarket front bumper.

Most people stateside want to buy the Land Cruiser for its luxuriousness. And I highly doubt anyone buying anything brand new over $40,000 is taking their truck/suv/crossover that far off-road.

By the way, let me make something clear. I think you guys misunderstood me.
What i meant to say was, i wish the LC was available from the factory with such mods. It doesn't come from the factory like that sadly. These are aftermarket parts! Sorry if it wasn't clear.
This is how the most standard 200 series cruiser looks like.

I apologies for the misunderstanding, what i meant was, i wish Toyota offered the 200 with such additions from the factory. It's true, not many first owners will take the 200 off road. Its not like they sell much to begin with. Over seas though, its another story.

Even the lowest model LC is pretty sweet!

When you think about it, its a miracle they even still sell the LC stateside! The LX yes but not the LC. I'm glad they still do though and i wish they continue doing so for many years to come. Canada only gets the LX.
Believe it or not, many people don't even know what a Land Cruiser is in the US ! Even some of the people who work for Toyota have no idea what an LC is, they try and get potential buyers in Sequoias when they have non in stock.
