Thread: LC 200 and UGLY toyo range.

agreed

IMHO the 200 series is a step backwards for toyo in the styling department.

I know a die hard toyo / 100 series guy who hates the new shape so much he is seriously considering a sport as his next truck.

The Japs have been trying to perfect the "Hit with an ugly stick" for years.

This time I think they got it right, Butt Ugly.

The engines are so good that its possible to put up with the ugliness.............

Or you can get a better engine (3.6 TDV8 Rover engine) in a vehicle that looks great (RR Sport or Vogue).

I thought you were going to write 'he is seriously considering a D3". (Must admit I'm still not sure that the D3 styling is much better...)

I wonder what will happen when LR goes to those whinging moaning Idia/paki/desh mob?

Will they still but Jaguar motors in Land Rover or go for the horrid crud "made in India".

That would sure chew the ass out of the LR market

Agree .. I think a lot of Toyo owners buy them for their reliability, not really too fussed about styling. Toyos are practical vehicles, they don't stir the hart like a landy does.
