The Land Cruiser not the tarted up barge of the USA but the ones that are real LC used in military around the world are quite similar, you get absolute nothing in terms of creature comforts.
the macho wannabees who bought the hummer H2 were in a state of mind which I dont want to know - why would I want to buy a square bodied SUV that is pretty much useless even in town that gives a new meaning to bad gas mileage and drains my account dry.

And maybe that is PART, not all, PART of why it failed.
For a military, you bet. I'd not be asking for AC, stereo, 12 way reclining seats, etc, etc. For a car to go around town or cross country, why would I need to subject myself to discomfort and pay for it? Makes no sense to me.
Why is it useless around town? They gave me one as a loaner for a few hours and it wasn't bad.
