Yeah, we noticed about the status symbol thing -- it seems to be strong with new Lexus owners but "hardcore" Landcruiser people have their own "anti-Lexus" thing going.
Since we're looking to buy an almost 10 year old car, we really want reliable functioning with good looks.
We test drove a '97 Landcruiser yesterday & it was a bit bumpy...
Do you know if the front-rear differential is standard on all LX 450s?
