Very nice build.

FYI: the LC200 is a stronger and more durable platform than LC70.

Nobody is going to buy a leather mom truck for 90k and beat the shit out of it and the LC200 sucks as a luxury vehicle, far behind what the Germans offer with their crossovers.

That's why they're not selling any, and why Toyota doesn't do anything legitimate to update a platform that sells about 3k units PER YEAR in the US market.

Well, i did beat the shit out of my G-wagen....

As for luxury, it is not to German luxury standard for darn sure, but it is quite comfy...wife and kids love it on long trips...but then again, i may have set my expectations low because i knew what i was getting into. Even with BFG KO2, we just went on a trip for 8 hours drive........rode so comfy and confidently in bad weather.

Unlike German luxury, LC200 is probably the most durable and reliable vehicle on the planet, bar none. And it is, by far, the most popular vehicle owned with over 200,000 miles, bar none.

I gladly favor THAT over German luxury...been there, done that.

As for sales, so be it...i am in exclusive club. . (But then again, Pontiac Aztec owners feel the same way. LOL)

Honestly, I actually feel lucky to own the LC200...a first for me...and i have owned plenty of expensive cars!

Have you guys seen the spy photos for the 2021 LC200? Fracking UUUUUUgly.
Also, cannot understand why they would facelift it the year before releasing the 300.

No major changes for 2021 in USA. No facelift. That pic you saw is from Middle East or something where they added some extra low hanging spoilers. Middle East LCs have fancy quilted leather too!

Nice. Thanks Thai. I saw that and it had me worried about the direction they'll take the 300.
I'm hoping I can make a 300 happen in 4 years.

Well, probably because of something like this: Icon suspensions failure | IH8MUD Forum

Why pissed off at the govt? There is no reason that Toyota couldn't build this to meet specs and sell it in the US - the reason they aren't doing that is because the demand isn't there.

Icon Suspensions and the Icon company founded by and ran by Jonathan Ward are two different companies...he doesn't even use Icon suspension products.

Aside from burdensome regulations for safety and emissions that make it not feasible for Toyota to make changes for the US market, they also won't allow a citizen to buy one an import it without making those same alterations.

The same reason I'm pissed that europe has diesel sedans that get 70-80mpg and we can't get them here.

Two different companies sir...

ICON suspension isnt ICON, JWards vehicle building...

and to add to his cred, JWards ICON vehicles was the company that built the first Toyota pre-production FJ Cruiser, and tested it, before it went to production and release. They seem to know what they are doing.
