Range Rover V'S Land Cruiser

Well personally, I think the LC200 is fantastic, particularly from a D3 sales point of view.

I can’t remember how main times a new D3 owner has rung me to order a Dual Battery kit and I have asked them what they owned before buying the D3.

Obviously, most were already LR fans but quite a few have been tojo owners and a number of these have specifically stated that they were so totally unimpressed with the LC200 that they went looking at other makes

These were all die hard tojo supporters but have had second thoughts about how good the new 200s really are.

Whether the LC200s are as crap as is being posted here is one thing but the LC200s are not making anywhere near as many friends in the toyota camps as one is lead to believe.

May only be closing in Australia, but they have also dropped from World Rally and a few other things.

:eek:Toyota dropped out of the World Rally Championship about 8 or more years ago.

Robert hasn't made a statement, he's asking if Scallops to rethink his comment in light of the fact that the D3 and RR have IFS/IRS.

Re the statement, an all-white D3 goes close. If there was ever a colour that looked bad on a car! It makes it look like a refrigerator.

IMHO - In 10 years time the 200 series will just be one more old Toyota kicking around that noone will see as anything special. Rangies however have panache, virve and flair - someone will always love them. :D

Sorry, I'll clarify. Different because of the engine, but end result -- much the same.

Agreed about the Rangie.

Thought that was you last post ;-)

Not at all. It was the wrong word - it is a common mistake, too.

Maybe so, but the LC200 actually is whitegoods ;-)

Unless Toyota have dropped the ball, the 200 should be a cheaper vehicle to own than a Rangie over its lifetime.
