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-September 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.

How My Arranged Marriage With Volvo Got Hot Again
How My Arranged Marriage With Volvo Got Hot Again
I met Volvo for the first time in the year 2000. My dad introduced us, both shy and unsure of our futures, on a balmy summer day not long after my 16th birthday. He’d already paid the $500 dowry, and I had little choice in the matter. That rusty 1985...

The 2018 Audi R8 Spyder Is A $175,000 Absolution Of All Guilt You Could Possibly Ever Feel
The man who dropped off the keys to a loaner 2018 at my trendy eighth-floor walk-up on the Lower East Side shuffled away after the transaction was complete, looking over his shoulder longingly at the shining supercar like he was walking away forever from his firstborn son. In fact, he...

For $30,000, Could This 2006 Ford F-350 Car Carrier/Camper Be All The Prep You Need?
If you’re a prepper AND a car nut then today’s … er, chimera, is the… um, car/house/garage for you. The question is, will the upcoming apocalypse break the bank? I must say that I’m a bit flabbergasted that yesterday’s garnered an overwhelming 80-percent Crack Pipe loss. I figured five-grand would...

2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: The Tech Review
2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: The Tech Review
The new Plug-In Hybrid is supposed to be futuristic-feeling luxury without the scary unfamiliarly of a pure-EV powertrain or a “startup” brand backing it. The execution—even in a brief jaunt—is impressive enough to convert some electric skeptics in the big executive car crowd. More than that, it speaks to how...

I Can Confirm That The New Smart Car Is Good
I Can Confirm That The New Smart Car Is Good
I instantly despised the first when it debuted. Smart my ass. No car should try to convince you that buying one was a good decision. However! The car grew on me and I finally drove the new one. Much to my great pleasure, it was a genuinely wonderful vehicle, though...

For $5,000, Could This 1983 Subaru 1800GL Convertible Have You Flexing Your Wallet?
For $5,000, Could This 1983 Subaru 1800GL Convertible Have You Flexing Your Wallet?
Today’s Subaru is just like Anne Boylen, an old girl who’s had her head chopped off. Lucky for us, this aftermarket beheading hasn’t meant the Subie’s demise. We’ll have to see if its price kills it for you, however. Overcoming fear of the unknown is a laudable achievement for the...
