| Editors' Most Wanted Vehicles for 2003 |
Most Wanted Large SUV Over $45,000
Winner: Toyota
Land Cruiser/Lexus
LX 470
Based on the Toyota Land Cruiser, the standard by which other large SUVs are measured,
the LX 470 truly is a capable off-road vehicle with Lexus luxury appointments.
A long list of standard equipment set the LX 470 into a class of its own. For
this year, an available Night Vision system and the Mark Levinson premium audio
system top the available options for this remarkable vehicle. With further refinements
and luxury enhancements to solidify it as the top of the Lexus SUV line, the LX
470 enters 2003 as the standard by which other large luxury SUVs should
be measured.
Honorable Mention:
Hummer H2
The new Hummer H2 combines the look and feel of the original Hummer with the comfort
and drivability of a traditional SUV. Equipped with a 6.0-liter V8, an available
self-leveling rear air suspension and monster tires, the H2 is one of the most
capable vehicles you can buy for when the pavement runs out. It seats six comfortably
and has the latest in luxury features. Of course, its most important feature is
still its unmistakable sheet metal and with colors like Sunset Orange and bright
yellow, those who just want to be seen should have no trouble attracting attention
in the latest creation from Hummer. Of course, if money is a concern and you don't need the high-tech gadget or premium badge, the Toyota Land Cruiser includes many of the LX's best features for considerably less money.
