just saw this on AutoBlog and was going to post it.
The Australians get all the best options.

Thats because in OZ and the rest of the world, it's a tool not just a luxury item and toy for the country clubs.

I wish they would at least offer the off road options as a special order.

It's not fair. It's just not fair!

We should all move to Australia.

But seriously, kudos to Toyota for doing this.

Looks like the Land Cruiser 105 is the last of the full size Land Cruisers with solid front axle. Just sayin'.

I am sorry if I fail to see the difference... but it still looks like a minivan.

edit: never mind the minivan part. It doesn't have a sliding door.

Yeah, that's indeed a vehicle for me. Not enough of us, alas.

Toyota Australia have some teriffic LC photography in their ebrochure, even though the GX isn't shown yet. (It is on the main Toyota .au website)

Here's the iPad version of the ebrochure: http://landcruiser-200.realviewtechnologies.com/ipad/?back=white#folio=5

Truely the best 4X so far!

the 70 series still has a solid front axle. And it isn't exactly tiny.

I'd like to pout, but even if it were available here in the us, I couldn't afford one anyway.

Exactly. I do like it though.

Now they're (Mr. T.) just rubbing it in!

You'd think the U.S. has a big enough market to also include this vehicle.

Oh well...
