Toyota Land Cruiser – 2008 Spy Photo: Hidden beneath this anti-photography burqa is a nearly production-ready 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser, captured in the wild near Toyota’s U.S. headquarters in Torrance, Calif. The overall shape is the same as the recently unveiled Lexus LX 570, yet the nose is clearly sporting a Toyota badge. While it’s hard to see through the camouflage, it appears as though the next Land Cruiser will more closely resemble the rest of Toyota’s truck family, with a distinctly Tundra-like nose barely visible behind the translucent white cloth on the front.

The rear of the car we spied is a dead ringer – at least in silhouette – for the Lexus LX 570 that was shown at this year’s New York Auto Show, however Toyota’s testers did their best to cover everything up, including using remote-mounted taillights to hide the actual shape of the production ones. Additionally, although it’s hard to see here, our spy photographer tells us that the LX 570’s flared rear haunches appeared to be duplicated on this vehicle as well, indicating that it’s more likely to be a Land Cruiser than the anticipated Tundra-based Sequioa.
