Here are photos of the next Land Cruiser design. It will be released in Europe first, and likely worldwide in the next couple of years.

At least this LC won't be confused with a Highlander.

Edit: Thanks to all who pointed out that the vehicle in the article is the new Prado / Lexus GX model, the same platform as the new 4Runner.

That will be the '10 Lexus GX460

 

[Pskhaat]

Yes, too soon for the LC re-write.

Wheel wells and back window/tail light interface is ugly. What is with all the newer trucks with tiny wheel wells these days?

 

[fooman]

Kinda looks like the current LC200 but with a more 'aggressive' C Pillar?
3Liter D4D for UK market? The Aussies get 4.5L V8 Twin Turbo Diesel. Haha.

Looks to me to be the 90 series replacement, not the true Land Cruiser, which would make sense considering how recent the 200 is.

I'm 99.9% sure that is not a replacement for the "real" Land Cruiser (200 Series) but instead is the latest incarnation of the Prado/GX/4Runner.

It is the 150 series, an update/evolution of the 120 series, which was an update/evolution of the 90 series.

I'd like to see what the 3 door version looks like. A while ago, a friend showed me the 3 door 120 and 90 series that we don't get down here in Australia, they look pretty good with decent rubber and barwork.

I see Toyota has " borrowed,stolen, copied" Land Rover's technology in its ongoing effort to keep up with the best 4x4 by far! always a step behind.:sombrero:

 

[knorrena]

Care to elaborate on what technology was lifted?

 

[wesel123]

I would agree on the 150 (120 series replacment) statment. Probable the same guts and underpinings of the new 4Runner. Just like the current Prado/120 configuration.

Diesel and a manual tranny! :drool::drool::drool:
