The Toyota Land Cruiser 300, which made its world debut earlier this year has a huge demand from various markets across the globe, including big as well as small markets. The waiting time has already exceeded to almost a year with Toyota finding it hard to meet the demand specially in wake of global chip shortage. Business tycoons, industry titans and wealthy politicians who can’t afford to compromise on status besides performance, luxury and practicality are eager to get their hands on the new machine.
