Re: Geländewagen vs Land Cruiser

Nicely spotted.

Thanks for posting!

Interesting to see the cruiser is roughly 30% down on power, yet consumes 15% more fuel.

Then there's doing any kind of work on the cruiser angry

But the worst is, especially in the country where that test was done, the cruiser, due to it's overtaking (in-) capabilities is a very big RTA waiting to happen. The full head-on type. Which, in my books, in this day and age, in this case, makes Toyota an irresponsible car manufacturer. It is not even that they lack the resources. Just criminally irresponsible. Like with the "widow-maker" solid axle Hilux, sadly its consumers will pay for it with their lives.

On top gear they said "work harder - buy a car" (instead of a bicycle).

In this case, work harder and buy a G!smiley

Re: Geländewagen vs Land Cruiser

Thinking about it, the cruiser is about as capable as a G290 of 20 years ago. That would be an equal comparison.

Which makes the cruiser as tested at roughly £28k very expensive for what it is.
