Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series V8 axed, but manual will live on

AutoExec Summary
Toyota Australia is discontinuing the V8-powered LandCruiser 70 Series due to changing regulations and community expectations. Production of V8 models will end in September 2024, with final deliveries by the end of the year. The company is working to secure as many V8 examples as possible until then. A manual transmission option will be added to the four-cylinder lineup. The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder will gain a manual option, with production starting in October. Toyota expects the manual models to attract some would-be V8 buyers, but anticipates the automatic to be the bigger seller moving forward.
