AutoAlert : New Land Cruiser Spotted In China

Fans of the rugged Toyota off-roader will be glad to know that the they will be expecting the new Land Crusier soon. Spy shots available reveal the external shape of the vehicle borrows alot of features from its smaller sibling the RAV-4. Which is not a bad thing actually as these big off-roaders often suffer from lack of character & depth in terms of design. The front grill becomes chunkier while the headlamp bears uncanny resemblance to the ones found in the Lexus range. Having said that, one can opt for the Lexus version if he or she has luxury high on the priority list.
