Default Toyota FJ Cruiser....(Now we're talking!!!!!)

Well I have not seen this on here anywhere so I decided to post up what I think has to be the most interesting thing to come out of Toyota in a while. I love this vehicle and think it is a bold move. The FJ Cruiser will willl come standard with a 4.0 liter V6 shared with the Tacoma rated at 245hp and 282 lb. of torque . The FJ's competition also display four-liters(Xterra,Wrangler).The original FJ40 only had 135hp and 210lb of torque out of an inline-6. The car has retro cues in the headlights and the white colored roof, but is not retro at all. Over all,this vehicle has a modern refreshing look to it in a segment where everything looks similiar.

The FJ will slot between the RAV4 and the 4Runner so expect a cost of about $25,000 to $30,000. It will offer tons of standard equipment that the original one never received such as a CD player, air-conditioning, power windows and locks.It will also so receive stability and traction control, ABS, electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Dealers will offer a wide array of accesories like the Scion vehicles. The car should be a real performer off road.

What do you guys think of Toyota's decision to produce this? Will it sell? I sure hope so
It should be on sale here early 2006 as on '07 model.

Original FJ


New FJ Cruiser(production version)

That is a good price for the FJ cruiser. I bet they will sell a lot of these. I like the look
