It drove like a pig compared with my 2004 SE AWD V8. They are bigger and have more luxury but my 4runner feels like a sports car compared to the LC feeling like a big luxury car. I still want one some day but the 4runner is quicker, sportier, better mpg and the 4runner body style looks great, but so does the LC. I think if I bought a LC it would have to be a 2004 or newer. That way it has all of the up graded fluids along with the 5 speed transmission which cuts down on the maintance costs. Saw a 2004 in Vegas for around $42K with 24K miles on it. So I would have to pony up about $17K to drive the LC. That would be nuts right???
Test drove a 2003 LC

Ok.....so the Cruiser is cool. But that is about all it has going for it over the 4Runner. Sure the interior might be a little bit nicer depending on the trim level of the Runner, but 17k nicer? I doubt it. Dont get me wrong, I love Cruisers, but I am more of an FJ80 guy than the newer ones. I liked them when they had solid axles and three lockers. Now if you could buy one of them new with the straight 6 and a straight axle, it might be worth it. But this is all just my opinion.
