Toyota FJ cruiser concept!

FJ Cruiser

We just took a look at the FJ Cruiser in Torrance California and Im signing up to get one. P.S. I work for Toyota Financial in AZ.... I hope I can get a good deal. But Im not looking to get rid of my VX... HELL NO!

I really like it. I like it for the same reasons I like the VX. It has a unique look that's all its own, and it's capable of doing what an SUV should be able to do. If SUVs were people, I think most of them would be metrosexuals. The FJ Cruiser (like the VehiCross) doesn't look like a metrosexual SUV.

I know lots of people are going to think it's ugly, but I think it's gorgeous. I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these, but I haven't really seen it in person yet. There's also no official word on the pricing either. They're releasing it as a 2007 model in Feb 2006. I can't wait.

Check out these sites for more photos of the production model.

They are going to make way too many of these for me to want one after all! Sharp looking still and capable.

I think it's great - it's funny how the description of rear visibility and getting into the back seats mimics the VX reviews from years past.

We're actually heading over to the Toyota dealership today to talk about trading the Dragon for a Tacoma SuperCab.

I'll look for some literature on the FJ -I'd like to find one of these next year.
I am bothered about the fact that it comes in a 2wd only model. To me that makes it kind of a traitor to the FJ concept.

Too Japanese looking for me. Like Hilary said,"You know what I mean".

The one thing about the FJ that disappointed me is the wheel base length.
This is close to a full size SUV at 106" WB and total length & width is the same as a large SUV. Darn near the same size as my '99 4 Dr Montero.
And one test report said Premium gas was reccomended!
