Nice copycat of cullinan.

Why someone would buy this japanese suv instead of a range Rover???

Reliability, durability and affordability

Reliability, durability and affordability

Okay. Do you believe if someone would spend this much of a money, he would consider it's reliability or durability??? And affordability?? I don't think so

Well, it depends on the usage. If someone use the SUV for its true purpose, I think he/she will go for the most reliable one. Obviously, you wouldn't want your vehicle breaking down during off-roading.

However, if someone uses a Range Rover as road vehicle, you are correct; they wouldn't choose Toyotas.

Another potential market is for people who loves the luxury, look, and feel of Range Rover or Rolls-Royce but don't have the money to buy one.

You're correct. This is a new aspect which I didn't see. Thanks.

Of course, there are plenty of people with money and sense. Plenty of people who`d like a well built, quality, reliable product without the show-off aspect.

This is why Lexus is selling well all over the world, Lexus products are priced on-par with Mercedes, BMW and Audi (for similar model/spec). And after 5 years (say bought brand new) they retain value better than almost all European made counterparts.

Regarding the Toyota Century, it has always been a Japanese only Model (JDM). Century SUV is no exception. There are plenty of Japs who`d happily pay for a Japanese made luxury SUV. Centuries are also used as luxury Taxis/Limo`s all over Japan..

I wouldn't call Rolls Royce garbage, and it's not just for those who can't maintain it. But if you look at the reliability index for brands, Toyota is at the top while Rolls Royce and Range Rovers are at the bottom. So, it's understandable if someone thinks they are not reliable.

This!!

With high end brands like Range Rover, their game is to innovate and release products to the market as quickly as possible. They also have design features which are un-matched in the industry, which helps with road presence and high quality look and feel. Obviously the buyers are looking for a high end product which is different to most other cars (i.e. "bahala yanakota ena gamma"). Buyers of these generally change cars every 5-10 years, after claiming maximum possible depreciation on their tax (i.e. claim car use as a tax expense)..

Obviously these features come at a cost in terms of long term reliability. Regular maintenance wont always prevent these things from breaking down as they get older.. It could be something as simple as a window regulator to a major issue like the entire suspension system collapsing down due to an air leak, it`s just a matter of time...

One of my Friend`s 10 year old Mercedes GLS broke down last month. This is the biggest (7 seater) SUV made by Mercedes, a turbo charged diesel V6.. Rod bearing failure after 10 years and 180,000 kms of use.. Complete bottom-end rebuild required. Regularly serviced as per manufacturer recommended schedule of course.. I had a good look at the engine bay, looking at design and various materials/components used, it all looks like utter garbage for an expensive car.. Some disintegrating plastics/rubber and minor oil weeps everywhere..

Agreed.
