The reason the Toyota Land Cruiser wasn't working sales-wise is simple. The way it was sold in the US didn't fit its purpose. For some reason, Toyota decided to market the Land Cruiser as a luxury vehicle instead of an off-roader. This was never going to work.

Why is Toyota getting rid of the Land Cruiser? ›
