Super TestCar reviews - Toyota - LandCruiser - 100 Series GXL 5-dr wagonToyota modelsOverviewToyota maintained the model's enviable off-road ability with the refined 100 series29 Mar 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON BIGGER than ever but also more comfortable and car-like to drive, the latest, more powerful LandCruiser follows a predictable path towards on-road relevance.
