Spy Shots: Toyota Land Cruiser
It's times like these that we really get excited about our readership. Whether it's a longtime gearhead in Seattle, an industry mogul in Detroit or a twelve-year-old whose four-wheeled obsession has just begun, we know that you're out there and that you'll never, ever, let us down.

This fact was made overtly apparent to us last night when Zaid Abdullatif, a reader in the Sultanate of Oman, sent us these pictures of what could very well be the next Toyota Land Cruiser. Basking in the sun outside of the Shangri-La Hotel and Spa in Oman, the newly redesigned SUV appears to benefit from a thorough work-over, both inside and out.

The exterior has kept the patented rugged-luxury theme with clean lines, a large greenhouse and a revised grill and headlamp arrangement that manages to look both intimidating and tasteful at the same time. The interior, which is easily dismissed as the typical appliance-meets-mobility Toyota philosophy, has the potential to don some upper-echelon cachet when equipped with high-grade leather, soft wooden trim and techno-gadgetry. Also of note is the all-important third row seating, which is a necessity when competing at this price point.

Judging by some of the gashes and scratches in the mule's body, it looks as though the new Cruiser is in the midst of hot weather testing and being flogged in a way that only you and the rest of the Autoblog team could appreciate.

When a couple of months ago I tried to submit an article about those spyshots, Agent001 said they were old pictures.

And now they're here!

Back to the car then. It looks horrid!

I like it. It looks like the older more offroad than affluent Land Cruisers of yesteryear. Here is an idea. Put this front end on the Tundra and you will have maybe the best looking truck in the world.

So basically, it looks like the redesigned Lexus LX470? Big surprise

So when Toyota said the LX570 and Landcruiser were going to be different cars they were lying?

Kind of like the Highlander and the next generation RX, or better than the Camry and the ES/LS. The designs schemes have got better but I still don't see the design seperation that Lexus has been screaming, and they knock Acura.
