2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado aka Lexus GX brochure leaks

Reminds me of the 2 gen old one. Not very inspired design IMO.

look more like a facelift then a new one

New styling my foot. But I suspect, much like the latest Lexus RX, this will look much better in the flesh. The fact remains though that the Prado is in dire need of a REAL update and restyling.

Its still ugly.

Is this designed for Crown Comfort drivers who want to trade in their taxi for an equally dated-looking SUV? Looks like Toyota let the summer interns design this...shockingly unappealing and wrong for the times.

I'm impressed - how can you make a car design more boring than that?

Toyota is normally pretty good in engines with good horsepower/liter, but with this 4.6 v8 and the tubdra's 5.7 v8 it seems they don't have the guts to do it better than the americans

mmmmmm, bring on the new GX. even though I dnt really care for Lexus, the GX is really the only one i would buy... mybe... prbly not... oh well, its time for a new one.

Here are some more pics of anyone is interested http://www.caradvice.com.au/34719/2010-toyota-prado-spy-pics/

What about the 3 door model. No-one seems to be talking about that but it's coming. Oh Yes it is.... Who's going to have that shot first. Not WCF by the looks of things.

Well I have to say the styling is a bit, ahem, insecure along the lines of modern design philosophy. Surely Toyota could've seen that. As to the wheezy 4.6litre V8, surely again Toyota could've extracted a bit more bhp from it ( 340bhp would fit the bill a bit better than a mere 310bhp ); or alternatively Toyota could've just whacked in the 5.7litre V8 which develops approx 380bhp, and has a half-decent exhaust note to it ( Australian-spec ). As for the interior, the centre-stack is a bit too, well, odd-looking. So out of 100, I'd give it a solid 50. Nice to see Toyota having a go despite the GFC, but obviously there is a lot that Toyota could've done to make it a better overall product.

are the Lexus GX going to look exactly the same as this? Also, when are they supposed to come in the US?

Hey Silent Night, the Aussie 5.7 V8 Toyota Motor in LC200 Only produces around 280h.p .(202Kw) Watchatalkinbout man. We don't even have a Prado V8 down here....

All cars cater for different markets. The Prado has never been - and will never be -a "soft" 4x4 designed for urban-only driving. Obviously, Toyota knows this, and is simply remaining faithful to a particular market.

is this really an all new model or just an update?

the front end is pretty much your average ugly standard Prado, however I must say that the rear end treatment raises the bar in ugliness to territories never seen before!

Once upon a time, the Land Cruiser was one of the best vehicles for serious off roading....Now this... Looks, bloated and obese....How sad...

i think australia only has the diesel and 6 cylinder petrol engine its the landcruiser which has the V8, its taken me a while to get used to that and the lexus model

I don't think this SUV is beautiful at all. Seriously, I don't even want to show it to others. I prefer to Mitsubishi Pajero.
