2008 toyota land cruiser

Here it is, folks. The real 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser. We fed you photos of it undergoing tests, and then the Lexus version debuted.

And now, the real deal from every angle. Engines should include an all-new V8 motor, but details will only come later at the Tokyo Auto Show.

The interior is similar to the Prado and existing Land Cruiser.

The top engine is expected to be a 381 hp 5.7-litre V8 shared with the Lexus LX 570. A new 4.5-litre turbodiesel will also join the line-up around the world, and the current inline-6 might or might not continue. The picture below is actually from a photoshoot in the UAE itself.

    the front lights look like the curretn Rav4 and the back is mixed between the Prado and the lincoln navigator (the way the lights are placed)

    Absolutely, amazingly dumb looking. I really hope, for the sake of Toyota, that they continue their current model than this. I really prefer the old ‘94-’95 model, externally at least.

    This is bulging from all the wrong sides, and the tail lights are so small-DO NOT give the same presence or feel of a land cruiser. (Even the current model had a small tail light, till they extended it -first with only reflectors and then with lights & LEDs). They really have something against the tail lights, or maybe they want to extend it in the new one also later on!

    japanese are cleverer than us they tought before they make the new Land Cruisser so, try to find the good angle nice looking and share to us :shock: :roll:

    for some reason, all the new versions of toyota’s best selling vehicles have been made to look ugly!! :S…the new corolla looks the samee - UGLY, alongwid the fact tat it has a price tag tat is too too high (75K+ for a full option 1.8) and ofcorz, costly dealer maintenance! Camry looks ok, but performance suxx making it still only good enough for being taxi cars and nothing more!!..now here, the LC too lost itz looks and the “prescence” factor…moreover, they gave up wid the 4.5L inline-6 engine and now replaced it wid an inferior v6 4.0L !!…Is Toyota taking advantage of the trust people have in them??

    toyota and lexus really need some1 good working in the car styling department. maybe its just me but i absolutely hate the looks of most/all of their cars.
