Call me nuts, but I LOVE it! Can't wait to check it out this weekend!!!

The 100 Series Land Cruiser has been around since '98... It's about time they replaced it. I was tired with the little facelifts they gave it through the years.

There have been spy shots of the 200 Series for a while now and I though I'd start a thread about it a while back, but I forgot. I don't need to anymore 'cause they'll just rebadge this a Toyota and call it a day. But I don't think they'll be introducing the 200 Series Land Cruiser to the US anymore . I read somewhere they were canceled from the US market due to of course low sales.

My family currently owns an '05 Land Cruiser VX-R (the one you like Artist). At first I didn't like from the pictures, but oh boy that changed once I drove it and experience its offroad performance - it's a LEGEND in that department.

One other thing that makes a difference is that this is a GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) spec'ed Land Cruiser and it's way different than American/EU spec'ed Land Cruisers/Lexus LX. It's built in Australia for the Middle Eastern market, has an offroad package that includes a 5-speed manual tranny and many other features.

Here are some pictures I shot while offroading in the MidEast:

Now I can't wait to see what the 200 Series would look like - GCC spec'ed that is
