I'm here in Italy and there is not many Lexus vehicles. In fact the only Lexus I have seen is an IS200. Most motors for comparable US vehicles are much smaller here in the US and many times they put in a Diesel engine.

I have seen the Land Cruiser Prado here in Italy. Not up close but on the highway. Sorry no pics, but a while ago someone posted a pic of the Prado so you might look those up.

From the closest look I had (on the AutoStrade A8), it had leather seats, and a diesel engine and a Toyota grille. Besides that and the rear Land Cruiser plate on the back it looked identical to the GX.

I also so the Prado in a 3 door version. I've seen roughly about 2 - 3 door, and 2 - 5 door Prados in the last 7 days.

BTW: Me and the wife rented a Scenic (by Renault I think). It's a 1.9 Liter Diesel, 6 speed with Navigation System. It was the only one we could find with Nav. Unfortunately all of the menus and voice guidance are in Italian. We checked to see if we could change the language but it requires another Navtech CD which we don't have.

Toyota Prados are really popular in the carribeans, Aruba and most Island countries. They use them as taxis and most have disel engines.

Looks like a cross between the 4th generation 4runner and the GX470.

i plan to get a Prado in the Philippines for when i relocate someday, or for my vacation SUV there. it runs about, uh, $30k-$35k i think. a lot better price than that $80k Ash Blue Mica GX! although that Gx does sound good, hmmm. now i can't decide!

If it's your vacation SUV pal I say just get the Prado, invest the rest. If you live there then I say get the GX 'cause you will need something to show for. I gotta visit the Philippines one day, heard it's nice, and Thailand too.

I would not want a Prado from China, I understand that Toyota got out of China after the government stole their plants and China is making the product without Toyota involvement. Call it a counterfeit Toyota Prada

One demostic company came out with a small SUV looked like the CRV, I think their in court right now.
This type of stuff is every where though, you just have to catch it.
