I have a 30 year relationship with this dealership. It has always been good and I’m sure they will do an excellent job.
When the car is in next week they are lending me a 2 Series Coupe for the day as requested. I am seriously considering one of these as my next vehicle, as Mercedes don’t seem to be following the path they told me when they launched the CLE, but we will see.
I will update next week, when we have got the other side of replacing my cars roof.

Other than London taxis , been in a huge number of Land Cruisers , across the Mara, Serengeti, Tembe, Samburu, Caprivi, Kruger not as capable or as comfortable as a Land Rover but a damn sight more reliable.
Though they are not very elephant proof

Currently driving the top diesel…, will before Christmas move to an I5 - so fully electric…., will be interesting to see how I will experience the change. Less range, less top speed (250 versus 215).

They seem to be the choice of various groups in the Middle East as well lol. Toyota has just introduced a new Land Cruiser for 2024, it’s close to 100 grand here in Canada which isn’t a surprise.

Does that include taxes? I think it’s about £75-80,000 here.
Warlords are queuing up to place an order.

Just did a build and added a few accessories on the Toyota Canada website and a premium edition(not the very top of the line) came out to $92,000. Taxes would be added to that so my guess of 100,000 is pretty close I’d say.

It’s just been released here as well, although it’s slightly smaller than our traditional Land Cruiser and badged as a Prado. They’ll sell boat loads.
I appreciate the land cruiser trades on its robustness and ultra reliability but it seems a bit strange to push the price up so very high and not offer a more refined six cylinder power plant. Its not as if Toyota are lacking such a power plant in their inventory. Maybe the relative crudeness goes with the overall image? Irrespective, no doubt these will sell like hotcakes.

Very limited on launch to 3k units in Europe……fuel economy hit to the rest of the Toyota range. May be more available when the mild/full hybrid becomes available.
We’ve only just introduced the fleet fuel targets but because of our distances, cow cockeys and carvaners they have excluded SUVs.

Yes, certain groups in the Middle East like them, they are rumoured to now being used by our SF
I believe the counter terrorism police in london use them.
It’s nice good nick for a 20 year old car.

Where did you hear coming from wind noise exactly ? I have slight hiss coming from the front top corner of the driver side Windows on a Porsche 718 Spyder above 120 kph. In my experience BMW and Mini service is very good. My best wishes for definitive solution
The little blue car looks like a Boxster.
It is. A 2.7 986. Lots of fun on a sunny day.

My F01 730d. We went to Cornwall for a break in July: 806 miles at 42.6mpg.
I think that is pretty reasonable given we had to use the A3 at Jn10 instead of M3 Jn11 due to M25 weekend closeure, my inability to get to a destination without going wrong somewhere, and the drive to, and Cornwall itself, is not that conducive to maximising fuel economy.

Love the “Save The Elephants” on the door. You’d think they’d be more grateful
