Land Rover.

They are G4 options in Europe, I can't find them after a quick look around the US website.

Here is the UK page:

Land Rover UK - Land Rover G4 Challenge Accessories

Agreed the LR3 is not as Land Rover-ish as a series II Disco but if you pick the right color, wheels and accessories it can look pretty sweet.

Clearly I stand corrected! I love the size, and the option for three rows of seats. I might have to go look today.

One word of advice/warning though: I don't think the LR3 will have nearly as much room for gear as the suburban with the 3rd row in place. So if that's a huge concern the LR3 might be too small inside.

Russ, dont hesitate in getting it its well worth its price and has good resale value over here. You are lucky because your marketing strategies are way better than ours, they dont bring the 5.7l 380hp engine for the toyota landcruiser and if you do want it you need to pay the premium and get the lexus which has that engine.
Moe thats what I want a 4.7L Twin turbo diesel

I've got a feeling your going to add your touches to it, especially with the engine and drive train.

Have you considered the H2? good transition for the sub. The LR3 G4 is definitely a nice car but impossible to come b in the states.

I can't stand the LR3 interior. We got to know them way too well because our new Range Rover was always broken down.

Bought a 2008 Land Cruiser today. Black. Every option. I'll let you know what I think after a few days. Acceleration is much better than Suburban, so that's a plus right off the bat. Also, the refrigerator (cool box) between the front seats is a nice feature I didn't know was there.
