Toyota Land Cruiser 2008: Indulgence on Four wheels Navigation: Main page Author: Webmaster Toyota Land cruiser is the product of the Toyota Motor Corporation and its nomenclature has an interesting history to it. The name "Land Cruiser" was the brainchild of the director of the technical team, Hanji Umahara that originally designed the first prototype of the Toyota. The team wanted to give such a name to the car that would sound analogous to the Land Rover of Britain. Having a distinctive name would help the product to gain mindshare and it worked for Toyota. Toyota's Land cruiser came into prominence as it sturdiness proved quite useful while negotiating tough terrains and climates. Soon the word spread and the land cruiser became the preferred vehicle for connoisseurs all over the world. Car Aficionados had the opportunity to have a glimpse of the latest edition of the Toyota Land Cruiser 2008 version held at the Australian Motor show held in Sydney last October. Both petrol and diesel versions of the Land cruiser were on display at the motor show. The USP of the 2008 version of the Toyota Land Cruiser was its engine.
