      Toyota would rather risk cannibalizing sales of the Sequoia thus have the Tundra-based SUV killed off and replaced by the 3-row extended wheelbase Land Cruiser 250/Lexus GX550 than do the same thing to the 4Runner.

      The normal Land Cruiser trim should be no more then 65k for what you get I think all the Land Cruiser trims are over priced but the First Edition is extremely overpriced before even dealers mark it up. Also if you are hitting 70k or higher for any trim of Land Cruiser just leave the Toyota dealership and go to the closest Lexus dealer and buy a Lexus GX 550 Overtrail for 70k instead

    It's okay to make a value judgment here. I CAN afford an $80K car based on the conventional metrics, but I won't pull the trigger. Car prices have risen since far faster than just about any other durable consumer good since the pandemic. Unfortunately, Toyota isn't doing anything to make it easier for people to afford a new vehicle. Cars are a depreciating "asset" that wear out. I'll wait for those "lucky" first owners to cycle through and allow me to purchase one at a bargain. In the meantime, I'll motor on in my 2007 Tahoe with 255K+ miles, fully paid off, cheap to insure and register, and wait to see if the turbo 4-bangers live up to the hype.

I just don't know how anything close to an average family can buy these and still keep a roof over the head and food on the table. With that said, Toyota did not create inflation, I guess I'm a little baffled at who the target market is for this. At any rate, the Bronco and all the others are high priced. Is it worth the money, I leave that up to the guy or gal that is writing the check.

    These hybrid-4-banger drive trains are great for mini vans and smaller cars/SUVs (like the RAV4). In a truck like this? Nope. Hard pass. Just like Ford is learning after trying to stuff their Eco-Boost drive train into everything they make, those smaller engines will not hold up to the kind of use expected of larger vehicles. And their power numbers do NOT hold up in the real world. Those Eco-Boost engines are having serious reliability issues because of it. Had they kept them in their smaller vehicles, where they belong, it would never have been an issue.
    I like the look of the new Land Cruiser, but they've built in some problems that make it a no-go for me. First, the price. $80K is just stupid. It's worth about half that. There is literally NOTHING special enough about this vehicle to justify that price. Second, the rear seats are cramped and do not have enough leg room (at least for me, at 6'2). Third, it's got an automatic transmission. If this thing is ostensibly meant for enthusiasts, it should have a manual transmission and at least an inline-6, if not a V8. Fourth: Tons of cheap plastic everywhere, making this $80K vehicle feel...well, cheap. It's just not good enough. This is just another corporate cash grab and Toyota is hoping there are enough fools out there willing to pay that price.

      what's the equivalent value SUV currently selling for $40k?

      @@tprountzos - That would be a fair point if not for the fact that the entire car market has become grossly overpriced since covid-19. It doesn't change the fact that this car is only worth about $40K, it just means that the others you might compare it with are also overpriced and only worth about $40K.

      @@meadmaker4525 "worth" generally is measured by what people will pay for something. I paid $40k out-the -door for my 2018 4Runner, so in my mind the new Land Cruiser is worth more than that. But, I agree that $80k is absurd.

    $80K plus mark ups for this 4 banger? I want whatever Toyota is smoking.

    I have a choice to make this fall. A new TRD 4Runner, an entry/mid trimmed Land Crusiser, or an unreliable sick-ass Defender.

    I like it but would go for the 1958. If I’m spending 80k it’s on a raptor.

    Why can't the base Land Cruiser start at like 35k?
    Toyota could sell a FUCK ton of these if they could
    get their prices closer to that. I just don't understand
    why they don't see the potential in this thing to try
    to make more of them and get the prices lower.

    Its beautiful, bit way too expensive and the 4 cylinder is a deal breaker. Whats next a three cylinder turbo?
