    I saw a huge monitor with less resolution on GM floor.

    Chinese Brands like Cherry.. GO Now have made their presents…

    i dont like back shape of new land cruiser.. why this car looks bad?? :oops:

  3. by thatsit(mohamad), on November 13 2007 @ 12:21 pm

    really whats wrong with that dealer, he removed every thing that makes the car more lux. and even he will not bring the 5.7 engine. really am so sad. :mad:

  4. by Assassin, on November 13 2007 @ 12:29 pm

    the dealer wants to make different between Lexus LX and Landcruiser by keeping 5.7 for lexus

  5. by Zao, on November 13 2007 @ 1:23 pm

    dont worry u will soon get the US spec 5.7 ltr LC from aweer car market…..i am sure all those power thirsty ppl would go for that……

  6. by thatsit(mohamad), on November 13 2007 @ 5:26 pm

    why???. assassin did they launch the lexus LX 570 here in UAE and if not, will they???. and Zao what i know from my friends is that the prices there is higher slittly than the normal price, espiecally when the dealer is not offering the model in the country, and the worst thing is the warranty, except if you make a contract with the dealer, but you have to pay more :neutral:. but the car is nice from inside but from outside its really ugly from the back, espically with the spare in the back (the above picture :roll: ) .

  7. by Assassin, on November 13 2007 @ 6:04 pm

    be sure that we will got LX57, nothing else. :eek:

  8. by Assassin, on November 13 2007 @ 6:40 pm

    even so, i think who is gonna buy landcruiser will not care about the power. and i know from your comments that you will hate landcruiser even if it is 8.1

  9. by Assassin, on November 13 2007 @ 7:01 pm

    i just hope the 4.0 auto hits 100km/h in 10 to 10.5 seconds to be perfect for me.

  10. by thatsit(mohamad), on November 13 2007 @ 7:38 pm

    looooooooooooooool :lol:

  11. by thatsit(mohamad), on November 13 2007 @ 7:39 pm

    but some people love power more than lux, thats why he should lunch it here.

  12. by thatsit(mohamad), on November 13 2007 @ 7:46 pm

    and i dont hate it but iam not going to buy that kind of cars (patrol, LC,GM for example). i cant afford the oil consumption for them.
    but really its a nice car, but as i said before the back side makes it ugly :???:

  13. by ali, on November 13 2007 @ 8:52 pm

    still looks boring;buy YUKON cause it is better,mechanically and price wise. :mad:

  14. by Zao, on November 13 2007 @ 9:05 pm

    i think they should have kept the 4.5 intead of moving to 4.0ltr….and 4.7 V8 with more power isnt a bad deal as its gonna be much better in fuel consumption than a 5.7ltr V8..

  15. by Zao, on November 13 2007 @ 9:06 pm

    yeah its true when u look from behind the new LC sucks…..

  16. by sq1, on November 13 2007 @ 11:25 pm

    i like nissan petrol super safri is the best option to buy… land cruiser very bad ass.. :oops:

  17. by Vivek, on November 14 2007 @ 12:33 am

    well..tis LC looks like the designers made it by stretching out a rav 4 sideways :razz:

  18. by sq1, on November 15 2007 @ 2:27 am

    every one hate this new model so who gonna buy this ugle monster??? :oops:

  19. by hasan, on November 15 2007 @ 10:10 am

    i agree with vivek.. and the back of the brown LC looks alien

  20. by Assassin, on November 15 2007 @ 12:56 pm

    i want to know about diesel engine. what is good for? and why nobody takes it?

  21. by Bashar Dahdah, on November 18 2007 @ 5:24 pm

    Assassin, in Europe people buy the diesel to save money on petrol. No idea why they bring a diesel to the Gulf though :P Everyone can afford petrol.

    The front looks great, but the back….what happened there!? Start/Stop button sounds cool :P But the pricing increased…

  22. by Moeen, on November 19 2007 @ 3:03 pm

    I nevr expected this from Toyota. Espsially from Land cruiser. I would SUrely prefer GMC SUV’s. They are far better. As Toyota is showing its model, I am sure after few days many people won’t even be knowing about Toyota.Such worst shapes are coming up.I hate them. It looks like a man with sterchted eyes and a big nose.
    The old model of LC was ausome.I would Congratulate the designer of LC 2007. .

    I have started hating Toyota !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops: :cry: :evil:

  23. by Junaid, on November 20 2007 @ 11:10 pm

    wat the??? landcruiser prado is much much better than this now they bot have same engines 4.0…n + prado got far much better shape than this sucky station SUV

  24. by Assassin, on November 21 2007 @ 1:05 pm

    hey mash, just estmate and tell us the lc 4.0 and 4.7 from 0 to 100kph
    i cant wait any more

  25. by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury, on November 21 2007 @ 1:19 pm

    Already did. Since Toyota didn’t release specs for the petrol engines, I had to estimate. Keep in mind that although power has gone up, weight has also gone up. The automatic diesel engine (whose specs are available from Toyota UK) is the best one by far.

You know DEATH but you never taste it, but when you taste it you’ll never be able to tell any body,,,, take a ride on LC and you’ll see the difference,,, you are driving a CAR, not a CART. CU on LC 2009
