Same goes for Blackraven - difference is only in the headlight... everything else is due to poor pic of new model and pic you posted of old model being from 3 door :-).

Otherwise, LC150 looks better than LC200 imho... of course LX is easily the best looking.

I drove all of them for years... from LC120 to LC150 to LC200 V8.

LC200 is great but doesnt look luxurious on the outside, just gigantic, while being 50% more expensive than LC150... LC150 is a bit ungainly and diesel is not fast by any ways of counting - it is like you are driving a boat, but gets good mpg and is indestructible.

For my money, i would get LC150 and probably wouldnt even consider LC200.

LX has a lot nicer interior and exterior.

Hehe I see I see

Oh well, I guess we have different tastes then. That's perfectly fine

Anyways, for me, it will be this:

LC150 + Lexus GX = Economy Class
Land Cruiser 200 series = Business Class
Lexus LX = FIRST CLASS

it cant be Economy class, it is very expensive vehicle :-).

But otherwise, LC200 is not that much better than LC150, when it comes to quality of interior for instance... few disappointing touches there. LX has all of that handled great.

i love the update, interior looks great and exterior looks better especially when in motion and you only notice the LEDs, not the headlight shape.

it finally got interior it deserves, before it was a bit too tech and less luxury unlike LC120.

IMHO



Better front end imho

The facelift actually makes the front grille look better. For me, it definitely looks more upscale........especially when compared to this:



A front-end that screams: RENTAL CAR

But IMHO, this is the worst out of the three:



WTF is that ****???? Seriously, it looks more horrid in clearer pictures. Goddamit.

I reckon that the designer who did that new front end probably suffers from MENTAL RETARDATION.

It so goddamed ugly

Hehe I wonder what spwolf has to say about this since he's the only one who likes this new Prado facelift

As much as we respect the opinion of spwolf on this, unfortunately ALL of us here either are not comfortable with the Prado facelift front grille OR that they HATE IT WITH A BURNING PASSION (I certainly do)
