We miss out on some of the best cars period. I would love to be able to buy a Hilux or a real Land Cruiser or even a Jiminy.

The US is getting the all new singing dancing Toyota Land Cruiser (2024) https://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/land-cruiser

but not (yet, that I know of) the new old Land Cruiser (1984) (2024) rerelease https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46001237/toyota-land-crui...

If the Land Cruiser 70 is your idea of a "real" Land Cruiser then you'll need a friend in Japan, Australia, or South Africa (for now).

I daily drive a 100 Series and I have for many years.

The new Land Cruiser would never be an option for me but I am strongly considering the new GX for a commuter while keeping the 100 Series for recreation.

Yes the 70 is what I would love to have.

Yell at Toyota to go through homologation because they aren't up to US standards.

It's not a standards issue as the Lexus LX is basically the same thing, they probably think it's better to only sell the Lexus to Americans.

The LX always sold better than the Land Cruiser for some reason. I see 100 and 200 Series LXs all over my town. I know of dozens of each. But I am only aware of maybe 10 total Land Cruisers.

When I ran an import repair shop, we had plenty of clients with the LX but myself and 2 other clients were the only ones with Land Cruisers.
