    Mga 70s at 80s Crown madalas ma convert sa Isuzu diesel para matipid.
    Di lang Isuzu, pati engine na ng Toyota Hilux na 2L. Yung iba 2C na rin.

    ... who can read the finicky buying public?
    ToyotaPH knows the local auto market too well. They wouldn’t bring a model that most Pinoys dare not own. For Pinoys with money, they would ask them to just buy a Lexus.

    Buyers of these cars don’t skimp on fuel and thus you can see more Explorers on the road. For its price, it is big, comfortable, and with powerful engines.

    some folks might prefer the so-called toyota reputation of being boringly reliable.

    When I hear Crown it brings back memories of cabs in Japan and HK. I don't think I've seen the new Crown in the metal even in our travels.

    These people buy the Land Cruiser for that reason. It is big, comfortable, reliable, and with a durable Diesel engine.

    yes,
    i remember the toyota echo verso.

    and at the other side of the spectrum,
    there lies the honda crv.

    who can properly predict the finicky public's finicky choice tastes?

    every other car manufacturer has its skeletons, and its surprise golden eggs.

    I guess you should know by now that no other Toyota SUV has such a solid following and decorated history as the Land Cruiser. I don’t see that changing any time in the future.
