The profit margin on the LC can't possibly make up for the sheer volume of 4R's sold and their combined profit.

I live in a very affluent area and see a lot of expensive vehicles, if someone is going to pay 90k+ for a vehicle is will NOT be a 'Toyota'.

People don't seem to have an issue dropping that for a loaded Tahoe or Yukon (that will fall apart much quicker), but they just don't seem to want to do it for a LC, especially when the other vehicles are larger and more functional. The rest just pick a Benz or BMW X5.

The LC is a tough sell (IMO) with a 90k price tag and a Toyota name.

I'm not sure why it's hard to grasp that Toyota is going to release their best selling midsize BOF vehicle first (Tacoma), then start releasing the ones they will charge the most for and go down from there GX - LC - 4R. Just read the damn thread.
