I like that Toyota a lot. it really looks like an evolution from the very 
early ones, especially the front end.
I got a good look at the LR3 the other day and at first sight I didn't like 
it, but having studied it I like it's simplistic block shape. Which is 
after all what all the old Land Rovers were like. But I think what spoils 
it is that it's too fussy, not simple enough.

If someone gave me enough money to afford one, I'd probably buy a top spec. 
110 SW and bank the rest.
