Spy Shots: 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser
Big, heavy SUVs may be fading off into the background, but they aren't going away. Toyota seems to be staying in the large SUV game with an upcoming update to the giant Land Cruiser. Caught testing in Australia, the Land Cruiser looks larger than the last model, and it might end up with a diesel engine under the hood too. The new 4.5L V8 will produce over 200 HP and 300 pound-feet of torque will help the gas mileage equation while giving owners more options than ever before.
The vehicle isn't expected to be unveiled until the Tokyo Motor Show in the fall.

I wonder if they are going to go with a more luxury look to it, like LandRover did with the Discovery-->LR3

Well hopefully the 09 won't look like a highlander!

The Landcruiser looks different in other countries. This new version might be for a different market. Like you said, we just got a newly designed LC.

Re: Spy Shots: 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser
Spy shot is really bad. Can't even tell if it's a Toyota. Are you sure it's not a BMW? 5 lugs?

Ah, I was thinking of the older ones.
