Its a fancy land cruiser. The LC is a great off-road vehicle. I wonder how many buyers of these will ever take it off road.

If by off-road, you mean parking lots of soccer fields.....damn near all of them produced.

I like what I see, but is this a refresh? Has many similar lines to the current one. I thought the land cruiser was all new so thought this would be too.

Also, that is a ridiculous amount of screens. I'd still buy one, but, damn.

It's all new. The interior is completely redesigned. The exterior looks similar to the outgoing one but has some distinction. And of course it's replacing the V8 with a twin turbo V6.

Thanks. If only this had second row captain's chairs. I'd put a deposit down today.

Yep, entirely new. It's a part of the new TNGA-F chassis which is shared with the (unobtainable) 300 series Land Cruiser and new Tundra. I've got a 200 series and it's certainly much different.

That D-Pillar is all to similar to the Infiniti QX80 and Mazda CX-5 and really irks me for some reason. I much prefer the way the Land Cruiser looks inside and out but I guess for once this will be our only choice in the US.

I am guessing it cost $10 to repaint bumper in a fender bender. 95% grill.

What a hideous looking thing.
The interior has no flow with the dual screen center stack.

The V6tt is not competitive.

And the QX56 was a play off of the Toyota Sequoia!

Looks like Lexua wants to reclaim their market share since they have learned their designed was turned into a luxury mom car.

Interior looks okay. But the exterior, meh. No thanks. Still, thanks for sharing!

Interior is nice but other than that the thing is beastly ugly in my opinion. Ungainly and awkward.

I love it, and thats saying a lot if you know me. lol. Never been a fan of Lexus. I think it has great presence. Very masculine in design. Looks a lot like the classic Land Cruisers in profile. Love the proportions. Would easily take this over the GLS and X7.

Looks competitive enough for its segment.

On a side note, I can't imagine shelling out 911 money for a bland house on wheels like all these large luxo-barges. Then again, I don't have kids.

Ugly all around, well done. Well, not the worst ever here, but it doesn't look good either.

I don't think anyone is shelling out 911 money

Unless you consider a 911 competetive in the large offroad luxury family hauler segment....

Lexus is sticking with their samurai style grille, at least there's family coherence in Lexus these days. Landcruiser/LX/GX were never lookers, they were always just known for their toughness and abilities.

BMW can't even decide if they want to do horizontal slats, vertical slats, honeycomb, rounded grille, squared edged grille, bucktooth, separated grille, joined grille. It's like they have many designers, all exists in their own vaccum and all work for different companies

I think he is saying that modern large luxo SUVs is pricier than 911s which he is right. He can't understand why because he doesn't have kids. Hell I have kids I still don't get why spend all that money when the kids'd just ruin all that leather, precious buttons and screens with mud, sand, snow, ice cream, munchies, mysterious rocks and plants they drag with them. I kinda do, but don't understand that mentality either.
