Default Toyota needs to see this photo.

I think it would make them proud.
Land cruisers as far as the eye can see.

Toyota sells 350k Land Cruisers, per year :-).

its crazy numbers for such expensive car (LC 150 and 200 are counted together).

Well I went to Cambodia for a vacation last summer, LX/LC and Range Rover are everywhere in the city. Most of them are either imported from the US, Saudi Arabia or Germany.

not really... As I said before, Land Cruiser sells 300,000-350,000 copies around the world, new cars, every year.

It is best selling car in those countries, when new... Land Cruiser is their Camry basically.

i didn't say they don't sell a lot of them new in these countries, did i? i was just saying how high demand these cars are. and it's a fact that a lot of these cars in the US are exported out to middle east and russia and a few other places

^ This, the exporting along with the reliability make for extremely high resale values for lx's gx's landcruiser's and to a lesser extent 4runners
