The subject is the Land Cruiser, but I figure it may be interesting for those of us who own the LC's child, the LX.

Def looks much better than the new LX

That's your own opinion.

If I'm ready to spend $85k on the LC, I'll be HAPPY to pay another $5k to get the LX.

...and we all know about "opinions".

I'm happier to drop ~ $50K on any 200 that's a couple of years old with perfect maintenance, a single non-lease owner, and no accidents.

Even happier to know the original owner ate a few years of depreciation.

The people who will never understand "Why buy a LC/LX570" will NEVER understand. We don't need to convince them. Let them go buy whatever else they want.......MB, BMW, RR, PORSCHE, AND ETC.

When I see all the LC'S roaming around under the auspices of United Nations in some of the most remote areas of this planet in third wirld countries........ there's gotta be a good reason why all the LC'S and not so many RR's. YEP!!! That's right! When you have people sh@@ting at you and you need to get the h@ll outta there quickly, you have a much better chance in a LC (VERSUS anything else).

LC's are also far easier to armor, including glass, body, and under frame.

lexusrus

Maybe so. But I still think reliability is the KEY. All that armor is jack ***** if you cannot get otta there quick to fight another day!!!

They wont buy the LX cause its a boat with jello handling... Make it a frame body instead of BOF and it may handle and drive better. Add TT v8 and a little better styling and u got the new 2020 LX.....

hankinid

I didn't nor have I ever put reliability on the back burner.

The point that I evidently didn't make is that in areas of the world where an armored vehicle is required, armor pieces and glass are easy to add to a 200 series It's not a "maybe so".

Got it 👍👍👍
