No. Something to fix and work around if you alter the suspension…. Yes. I don’t need a bigger screen. I would like the cameras but again don’t need them. And once everyone here has a kid spill milk or similar in a ventilated seat…. Well…. You’ll change your mind.

      You can literally buy a brand new Land Cruiser and keep it for 3 years or so and it will cost you at most $10k in depreciation (if you keep the miles down and excellent condition).
      Land Rover / Range Rover will cost you $40k-$50k in depreciation over the same time period.
      And you have a better looking, more reliable vehicle while owning it. Plus, you don’t look like a maxed out credit card / lease special db while driving it like the Range Rover/G Wagon, etc.

      Idk why you are surprised, this is the flagship model, of course it’s going to be expensive. For the same price as the top end model of the LC you can get a mid-grade Lexus GX550 with the twin turbo V6. If that’s still too pricey that’s why the 4Runner just came out.

    • @gotworc
      @gotworc 9 місяців тому

      Honestly i don't see why it matters how many cylinders there are. Horsepower and torque are more important. This is literally just a more numbers equals must be better argument lol. There's a reason why no one really makes V12s anymore either. A V8 or even a V6 can make just as much or more power and they're significantly more efficient, easier to maintain and are less complicated.
