It's a done deal. They're due to arrive in showrooms next month.

On a side note, they get worse mileage than my 96 fullsize Bronco with a 5.0 and 33's. Kinda cool looking, but what's with the crappy mileage with a V6?

Hideous is a gross understatement! Thing should be illegal!

I don't know where/what Orchards is, but if you're near Portland, that's where Toyota's regional headquarters is. Lots of pre-production stuff around there.

I've seen that before on Car & Driver TV. I looks more like a moon cruiser than a land cruiser. But, if people will buy Scion XB's they'll buy these.

Orchards is in Vancouver, very close to Portland on the other side of the river.

If Toyota can find a market and sell these things. Then I am sure that Ford could build their Bronco concept from '04 and sell out of them quickly.

There is a ton of options for engines for the parts bin including the new 3.5
V6 that could be used as a diesel or turbocharged. I say build it!

They sure fugged it up... Toyota's like "Yeaaaaaaah, were retro.... yeaaaaaaaah"






Anyways, this is a Land Crusier...



But yea, if dumb 30 somethings will waste their money on the xB, Element, and Aztec, then don't put it past them to buy that horride blue plastic disaster.

I love the 90's landcruisers. But man... the designers must of decided to just throw luxery out the window. Looks like cheap plastic. What is with all this retro crap? Guess everyone has officially jumped on the bandwagon
