2009 Land Cruiser Scooped

Czech site “Auto” has turned up some new spy pics of Toyota’s next gen large 4x4 which is rumored to break cover at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon in December (1 -14). Although the car shown here wears much more camouflage than the one we showed you last year (click here: 2009 Land Cruiser) “Auto” reveals that the new generation will receive a new 4.5-liter common-rail V8 turbodiesel producing 206 Hp at 3.400 rpm and most importantly, 43,8 kgm (430Nm) of torque at just 1.200 rpm. Expect the new Land Cruiser to go on sale worldwide during the first half of 2008. Via: Auto.cz

2008 Toyota Land Cruiser Scooped ?

Thanks to Autoblog and in particular, a fan who sent them these pics, we may very well have the first images of the next generation Toyota Land Cruiser 100. According to the reader, the pictures where taken outside of the Shangri-La Hotel and Spa in Oman. To tell you the truth though, at first I thought it was some kind of Chinese attempt at producing a Subaru Forester on hormones, and that's not something to brag about. The interior on the other hand looks quite good especially when compared against the present Land Cruiser. via: Autoblog & Jalopnik

Greenpeace anti-SUV humourous Commercial

Greenpeace released this anti-SUV commercial at the British International Motor Show. Its shows how people will treat (according of course to Greenpeace) a coworker who lives in a city and owns an SUV (in the video, the guy has a Toyota Land Cruiser). Kind off far fetched if you ask me. Ok, SUVs waste gas, take up space and have no place in a city, but spitting in the mans coffee ? Jeez….See the video below. After the jump, read Greenpeace's comments

What does your car say about you?

"This week while we bake in soaring temperatures, thousands will flock to the British International Motor Show to see the launch of the first right-hand drive Hummer and other gas guzzling luxuries. Based on a war fighting assault vehicle, the Hummer’s size and fuel consumption will make it a deadly addition to the fleet of Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) on the roads of our cities. Our mole inside the motor show will also pontificate about the latest fuel efficient and electric cars on the lot."
