Has anyone driven an FJ Cruiser?
I'm starting a little early for my next winter and utility vehicle and saw an FJ on the road the other day.
The undated throwback look is something else - me likey!
Has anyone test drove one yet? I haven't had a chance to get out of the office early enough - my past trucks were an MDX and Explorer (I know apples to oranges but I would love to hear from this community).

It should drive and handle a lot like the V6 4Runner...it is built on the same chassis, with the same drivetrain and off-road capabilities. The main differences, of course, are cosmetic......the lack of B-Pillars, forward-opening rear doors, and retro-styling of the front end, dash, and rear pillars.......resulting in a massive blind spot from the huge rear-pillars in the back.

It drives quite nicely. Though you do get a good dose of wind noise. Make sure you have the mirrors setup right as the blind spot is quite large. Though right now they're selling like hotcakes and they are coming fully loaded. MSRPs in the 29K-31K range.
