Even If You Could Buy A New Toyota Land Cruiser, You Still Can't
Even If You Could Buy A New Toyota Land Cruiser, You Still Can't-April 2024

People in the U.S. can now rejoice in shared misery with the rest of the world, because now no one can get a new Toyota Land Cruiser — unless of course you want to wait four years.

The automaker confirmed of the long wait on the .

Well, it wasn’t a confirmation as much as it was an apology, but the meaning behind it is the same: You’re going to have to wait for a new Land Cruiser. Here’s their statement — or apology — translated:

“Thank you very much for considering and ordering our vehicles. The Land Cruiser has been very well received in Japan and around the world. We sincerely apologize that it will take a long time to deliver the Land Cruiser to you after you place an order,” the company wrote. “We sincerely apologize for this.”

They continued by saying if you order a car now, delivery time could be up to four years into the future — adding they would do their best to shorten delivery times. Good luck to 'em. They're going to need it.

It’s a safe bet to say the reason Toyota is having such an issue fulfilling Land Cruiser orders is not only due to high demand. Supply chain issues and the semiconductor shortage brought on by the pandemic have no doubt played a big role.

The Land Cruiser has obviously been a tremendous success for the automaker, even though they have no plans to sell it here in the U.S. Strong sales numbers and long wait times like these also mean they probably have little reason to go back on their decision of forgoing the U.S. market.

However, for those of you who are Land Cruiser-pilled, the Lexus LX600 goes on sale in the U.S. very soon. Right now, there’s no word on how long of a wait a customer can expect for one of those. Prices are expected to start at just a tick under $90,000 for the full size Lexus.

This past year it felt like we drove damn near everything. From Subaru rally cars to the Bentley Mulsanne Speed. From a Power Wheels to a McLaren 650S. From an Audi TT, to an Audi TT, to an Audi TT a third time, because sometimes we all disagree and everyone...

The Worst Cars (And Trucks, And Bikes, And Other Crap) We Drove In 2015
It was easy for us to name . Picking the worst ones, believe it or not, was a lot harder. We live in a great time to be driving cars. The sentiment that “there are no bad cars anymore” probably isn’t entirely true, but it is true that the real...

For $29,000, Will This 1974 Porsche 914 Bumblebee Start A Buzz?
For $29,000, Will This 1974 Porsche 914 Bumblebee Start A Buzz?
Today’s 914 is the nirvana of the four-cylinder cars: two-litre, five speed, with the gauge pack. It’s also an unrestored, limited edition, with paint that earned it the nickname of Bumblebee. Might that just take away some of the sting of its price? Hey, do you remember 2015? I know...

Would You Go $9,800 For This Widebody, Subaru-Powered 1972 Porsche 914?
Would You Go $9,800 For This Widebody, Subaru-Powered 1972 Porsche 914?
The styling of Porsche’s 914 was kind of frumpy, and the four cylinder editions were far from fast. Today’s custom 914 however is neither frumpy nor far from fast, but will its price have you saying eff that? There is something to be said for German engineering, and that something...

For $11,995, Would You Ring In The New Year With This 2004 BMW R1150RT and Hannigan Sidecar?

Simon and Garfunkel once sang that the boxer stands alone. In contrast, today’s Beemer is a boxer that will never make you ride alone. That’s because it comes with both a pillion and a space age side car, but will its price mean you’d just as soon leave it alone?...

The 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Is Perfect Except For Three Things
The 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Is Perfect Except For Three Things
Some things bear repeating. For instance, I tend to harp on about how value trumps price and that you shouldn’t ever settle for the mundane just because it’s technically the safer choice. As if to prove my point, the automotive gods at Mercedes-Benz have created the : the world’s most...
