Spy Cruiser: '08 Toyota Land Cruiser Caught Off Guard
Thanks to a watchful friend, our blog-pals at Jalopnik managed to get their hands on a set of totally undisguised shots featuring the upcoming 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser. Due to make its official appearance at the Tokyo Show this October, the ’08 Land Cruiser is nothing more and nothing less than a rebadged ’08 Lexus LX570.
