Thread: Land Cruiser the great

I assume that is a Prado.

And for most people in this country, who don't live four week's drive from the nearest dealer, the Landy is the obvious choice.

And that's the issue in Oz.

Yes its a Prado. The Land Cruiser as we know it is referred to as the Amazon in the UK and the Prado as the Land Cruiser.

Ever noticed that Prado's are badged Land Cruiser Prado here?

Yep. But no one calls them a Land Cruiser.

My BIL (and little sister) does, as they drive one....
All because of that little badge on the back.

Of course I correct them everytime I hear them

Rick, sounds like they have the 'Mercedes Musso' disease! May as well refer to your Defender as a Range Rover

So are RAV 4s - certainly the earlier models.
