This looks pretty good (dodgy colour aside).

Probably won't come to the UK but it's very closely related to the upcoming new Prado or smaller Land Cruiser which almost certainly will.

I like that and it looks like they have got the awful Lexus grill thing almost under control at last. Might get one in 10 years time smile

It’s got decent tyrewall height which means the wheels should last longer than 5 mins without damage.

I"m getting Tonka vibes... The crisp lines are rather appealing.

Absolutely you can hose it out.
Whether it turns a wheel again remains to be seen.

I think it's just ugly. How hard can it be to design a relatively non-offensive SUV? To be fair it's been years since Lexus have managed tod esign anyd ecent looking cars. they alls eem to have that stupid "Predator Helmet" face.

Do country folks actually hose out their vehicles? I thought they just left them grubby inside.

Couldn't you just put in some rubber mats and a boot liner, and some seat covers or is hosing out a must. scratchchin

Really? I think it looks great! Guess life would be boring if we all liked the same things.

The less blingy lower spec Land Cruiser version should be low key enough for us and all being well will be released in time to replace our Hilux which is running up miles at a surprising rate.

I see where you're coming from but the styling thankfully looks much less "Ken and Barbie go to the beach" or early Freelander than the Defender.

Very different design language to the LX which is surprising...but I do like it. Given the people I know that have the GX here, losing the 3rd row isn't ideal either.

The Land Cruiser version will almost certainly be sold here and it does still have 3 rows of seats, I think only one of the models comes as a 5 seater.
