I love my new 2026 LC 250. Meteor shower.

Almost didn’t buy it because I test drove a barely used one with 3K miles and hated the sound of the engine. It kept kicking in and sounding loud and unrefined. Luckily, after I left, I looked it up online and read through the window sticker and saw the “option” for cat back exhaust. Went a week later and test drove my current car- which was new. I made sure to test drive the correct one, as an identical twin LC on the same lot had the cat back exhaust and mine did not. I fell in love with it. Everything that was wrong about the first one was right about the second one because the engine didn’t keep roaring to life every time it kicked in due to the hybrid

No offense, if you do – but does anybody like this option? I think I now see how the first LC I looked at was traded in after 3K miles. Not only a waste of $1400 but seems to make the car much less desirable. I sometimes browse through what is being offered locally and I see quite a few that I’ve been sitting on lots with this exhaust.

Hey Fam! I just got my Land Cruiser 250 and LOOOOVVEEE IT! I got the Meteor Shower color. I live in Alberta and was wondering whats your go to set up for Winter Tires?

As the title says. Been passively looking at the current Land Cruiser for the past couple years. About to maybe jump on one but one thing that has been underwhelming is the colors. If I am going to buy a vehicle this expensive I want to love the color. The color options are just trash. Just white, grey, and black with a mid shade of blue and tan. I don’t mind the basic colors you have to have them but the other colors being offered don’t excite me. They aren’t even really rotating colors like they do with other models. When I heard the 2027 had a new color I was happy just to be sad when I found out it was a new black color. I prefer the Lexus GX colors. The trail dust color doesn’t look as good as the mud bath on the Tacoma. Everest from the 4Runner would look nice on the Land Cruiser. Maybe more classy color options like they had on the older land cruisers. Am I alone on this?

Hi Land Cruiser people...

 
Has anyone here imported a LC250 from Japan to the UK and driven it on UK roads for a bit? 

I would love to hear about your experience concerning converting km/h -> mph and how that affects Road Sign Assist (RSA) Speed Alert, potentially it would read speed limit signs in km? (Despite the CAMBUS)... And if there are any other anomalies that you were not expecting.

Also, any "Dos and don'ts" and general tips on the Export, Import, reduced Custom Duty, IVA, Road Tax etc.? 

Thanks in advance, any advice would be much appreciated.
