Toyota Land Cruiser Sales Surge

December 23rd, 2010 by Arman

As Europe is getting covered almost entirely in snow, Toyota is enjoying very good days in UK as the sales of the Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser V8 are up 77 per cent and 120 per cent respectively over the same period from last year.

Land Cruiser owes a large part of its success to its image as a robust and capable 4×4, which is the result of 60 years of presence in the market.
