Before we get started with the new Land Cruiser, we have bad news, since it won’t be coming to the US, at least in this form. It’s been reported that the new Land Cruiser will come to the US as the next-generation LX.

Overall the look of the new Land Cruiser isn’t a dramatic departure from its predecessor, but its new grille and lighting make it look more modern.
