I have heard it describe by landcruiser enthusiasts as ugly and like an inflated rav 4.

It has no style and will look dated very quickly.

Hmm, the engine sounds alright - 5.7 litre alloy V8.

The articles for the USA spec one. I think we get a bi-turbo 4.5 V8 like in the new Troopies but with an extra turbo. Bet the 200 series hits Australia at over $75k for something lower specked than a base model D3

It would be a great vehicle for the grey nomad.

Towing a double axle all bells and whistles caravan.....

Without a schedule in mind, and just travelling around Australia..... Ahhh!! What a beautiful tow machine the 200 Series would make.

I saw my first 200 Series in the metal today in traffic on Beaudesert Road.
I had to do a double take as I thought it was a Kluger at first but then I thought it was too big. I then realised it was a 200 Series. I couldn't beleive how much it looked just like a bigger Kluger. They must have sacked the design team and just told the engineers to double the dimensions of the Kluger :D
