Unlike the 20 series that was first imported to the U.S. back in 1958, I bet this version will start at $100K or close to it.. ???

Back in them days where I sold for toyota, them land cruisers were the most expensive vehicles on the lot. 

We would have spot bonus for the first sale's guy to sell the first land cruiser for the month.  $3k bonus is not bad at all.  Hard to sell as people are more interested in the sequoia. 

Truck these days are expensive.  That land cruiser is no joke price wise either.  The bay area, I noticed that our azn older folks who are former bmw/mercedez/lexus are trading in their luxury vehicles for them tesla.  It is the in thing these days.  Like Iphone.  Status and new gadgets, they must have.

You know what Toyota I wanted to see back in US market, FJ Cruiser but looks like FJ cruiser will do its final year this year in other countries. The sequoia is looking really nice now, my next suv but just incase lets see how this new Land Cruiser stack up.

If you're going to get a Landcruiser... might as well get a Lexus since price range would probably be on level with Lexus.

When I bought my first brand new auto back in 1993, it was a Toyota truck with a sticker price of $23k and change. The only two Toyota models with over $50k sticker price I saw at that lot were the Supra twin turbo and the Land Cruiser:

If a version of the new Land Cruiser looks like this, it would interest me. Enough to do a test drive and possibly buy:

I take back what I said before about pricing of the Landcruiser... I thought they might continue the trend of the last offering around $80K for base model.

Looks like the new Landcruiser will be starting around $56,000.
Only three model to choose from and only 5000 customer get the First Edition version. Followed that up with the 58 model (a bone dry version) and the Landcruiser.

Does not look bad at all
