Toyota Land Cruiser 300 gets mini Chinese doppleganger

Images of what appears to be a shrunken Toyota Land Cruiser 300-series have surfaced in China. The actual Land Cruiser 300, which Toyota deprives us of in the U.S. to feed us the Lexus LX 600 instead, is a worldwide hit. Waiting lists can extend up to four years in some regions. If you can't wait to get your hands on one, perhaps the miniaturized one can carry you over.

The pocket Cruiser was spotted by Carscoops on the social media site Weibo, where it was posted without much additional information. The triple chrome bars, U-shaped grille and headlights are unmistakably 300-series Land Cruiser, though. The similarities extend to the back where diagonal cut taillights and rear graphic mimic those on the real Cruiser. While the elements are there, the proportions are all off, giving the impression of a raisin-fied Land Cruiser.
