I'm with you, Lance. I'd take a 70 series troopy over anything Toyota offers in the U.S. I do like the 100 series though, and I would seriously consider buying one.
This is kinda off-topic, but here's what I think Toyota should do:
-Keep the Land Cruiser, but drop the price.
-Ditch the Sequoia. The new Highlander is already larger than the previous Highlander and fits the cross-over trend that manufactures are going towards.
-Keep the Highlander. The new larger model is a good step I think, and should offer better competition to the Chevy Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave, Dodge Durango, and Ford Explore. The larger Highlander would pretty much replace the Sequoia.
-Create a new FJ Cruiser with removable top and with 2 door and 4 door options. Basically a Toyota version of the Jeep Wrangler.
-Ditch the 4Runner. Sorry. Maybe they could just sell a rebadged Prado and call it a 4Runner. Or offer the Toyota Fortuner here in the states.
-Keep the Rav4
-Bring the 70 series Land Cruiser here, at least just the troop carrier and pickup version (whatever that's called). Main target would be contractors.
-Offer diesel engines in all variants.
I dunno. Anyways, I'm curious to see what the revised 5th gen has to offer.
