Honey, I shrunk the LandCruiser

My biggest issue with the Y62, apart from the but ugly facelift is the interior door handles are from or very similar to an early 1990s Nissan Bluebird, Primera or Maxima.

This body kit would make it pretty bad off road!

The US spec version has a better interior and better interface. Not sure why we get the povo spec.

With the Warrior version here, I'd doubt we'd see it. ADR's and all.

Interesting observations as they seem more massive at the front.

It's built on the same platform as the new Prado.

Yeah, they look bigger but are certainly not inside. It's so cramped for what is meant to be a full sized car. Maybe it's safety stuff but the width inside is reduced. As is the leg room.

I would've thought moving to a 6 cylinder would've freed up some real-estate to move the front row forward with the firewall. Seems not to be the case sadly.
