Dated exterior, underpowered, and very heavy. And it's an SUV.

Seriously Uncool.
 
Going with Uncool here, though the original generation easily makes SZ.
 
Uncool
 
I don't get it when people claim something is underpowered when it's not designed for performance in anyway, especially when it makes all it's torque at basically idle.

Either way I Love this, completely indestructible, unapologetic about its utilitarian purpose and with reasonable fuel economy for what it is to allow massive stints without refilling means it can take you basically anywhere you want and it would be suitable.

Cool for me.
 
Land Crusher: Effectively more unstoppable than any Land Rover off-road.

Cool.
 
I imagine the only people that buy these actually use its offroad capability, instead of mall crawling.

Cool.
 
The least they could have done is retain something resembling the original, more-than-vaguely interesting fascia instead of creating a muddled hybrid of old and new. It's like applying Discovery styling cues to the front of a modern Defender. Vile.

Capability notwithstanding, Seriously Uncool.

The Car is basically Unchanged styling wise apart from the Grille.
 
Not a Ford Raptor.



Cool.

The basic shape remains the same from the windscreen back (ignoring the alloys, snorkel an other GXL trimmings). But any of the character it may have had is more or less non-existent on the 76 series. Purely function over form. And function alone isn't enough to sway me, I'm afraid.
 
When I first read 2007+ Land Cruiser, i thought you meant this one...

...Which is SU but then I realised you meant that land cruiser....

...still SU thought.
 
V8 diesel.
 
Actually goes off road, so therefore not seriously uncool.
 
A LandCruiser that actually sees its time off-road rather than at the local footy oval for mum to pick up her and several of her friends' kids.

Low Cool.
 
This is the automobile for arduously over-landing an inhospitable continent. Well, this side of an Earth Cruiser I suppose.

Cool.

Almost exclusively used for what it was specifically designed for. Very good at what its designed for. Low cool.
 
It's an ugly, underpowered dinosaur. Nowhere near as refined as the current LC, and not quite as collectible as an actual LC70.

Sub-zero. For reasons.
 
The snorkel is cool, but that is about it.

Uncool.
 
I'm sure it's brilliant at what it does, but there's far too much of a Simon and Lyndsey vibe for it to be even remotely cool.
 
90s styling in the late 2000s. Uncool.
 
Plus points for being a genuinely capable SUV/off-roader, but loses almost as many for the snoresome styling, and for making me want to see an old one. Upper Meh.
 
I think it's weird that they seemed to intentionally make it look like the J100.
 
Cool BECAUSE snorkel.
 
Seriously uncool. Because Toyota has in my honest opinion has gone down hill since the late 90's. Still prefer my '86 4Runner over any newer Toyota.
