    Review: 2009 Toyota Landcruiser - A SUV good enough for Dr. Evil and his wife

    2009 Toyota Land Cruiser - Click above for a high-res image gallery

    Once upon a time, if you were expecting company and they drove a Toyota Land Cruiser, you'd have Teva prints in your carpet and the smell of patchouli filling your house. Their refrigerator cheese selection probably included one with the word "Whiz" in it, and if things got too warm, your guests would unzip their Vatican pants at the knees and stuff the legs into their oversized shorts pockets. No more. With a starting price of $64,755, the 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser is a certifiable luxury proposition that only gets close to grime when tackling a grass-covered hill at the local little-league soccer field. Yet in spite of its juggernaut proportions and new personality, after a week in the 'Cruiser, it's obvious why Toyota's biggest SUV sells: it's a giant Camry that seats eight and eats volcanoes.

    I love land cruisers. They live forever.

    My grandpa got 2 imported from japan. one of them is still with us after years and years of torture and abuse. Its been through numerous accidents too... Actually, the front end has been done over so much that the headlights are too high and couldnt be adjusted anymore o_O

    Land Cruisers are solid off-roaders

    that thing needs some bling rims and limo tint ASAP!

    iv heard about those blind spots... Who looks at their side mirrors while 4x4ing anyway??? lol jk. Mom loves those things...

    Land Cruisers I love (other than those 1991 models) are those square 2door ones that look like jeeps. Now those are tough.
