Although Land Cruisers are great, the starting price for a new one is over $85,000! (2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Luxury SUV | The timeless icon.)
Same for nearly as capable off road vehicles like the Land Rovers and Porshe Cayenne.
Is this a good idea?

The landcruiser will hold its value far better than those two examples. It is arguably the most reliable vehicle currently made and has been for many years. It’s also one of the most capable 4x4 SUV’s out of the box. The price is definitely justified if you break it down.

I've said this a thousand times, but it's still the same. Instead of discontinuing the land cruiser in the USA - toyota should have offered it in the same trims as the rest of the world. At $45k as a starting point, it's a solid vehicle at a fair price. The market will not support it at $90k as the only model. We know that because it's being dropped from the USA for poor sales. And it's super inefficient. My guess is that Toyota didn't sell the lower spec models because of the CAFE hit they'd take on all of the sales. If Toyota put even a moderately fuel efficient engine in it and priced it like all other world markets - I think they'd sell a pile of them here.
LC200 GXL trim and v8 4Runner are the two biggest failures to offer in-demand products in Toyota's lineup. Probably the only worse case is the lack of a v8 Tacoma. They'd never be able to keep up with demand for a 4.6L v8 powered Tacoma. They'd have to build another factory.
