I don't even know!

The new FJ that is now up for sale also is more along the origional philosophy of the TLC so I could see it being the FJ of the future and the LX continuing on with the new Tundra platform. I really don't want to see anything larger than the current LX/TLC though as it seems the new Tundra is just huge. Who knows what they are planning though since we are still away's out. There will be a 50th anniversary edition and then the new model change if they move along in 10 year periods for a major model change. It just amazes me that a vehicle that came out in 1997 as a 1998 model is still so competitive.
I'll be happy.

Yup, that is what my sources say. I don't want that to happen.
I guess we will all just see soon!

Toyota is keeping the LX under a cloak of secrecy. The 50th Anniversary should be the last 100 series. Don't take my word for it. Just wait and see. I don't even know.! This info is from a friend who has a friend in Toyota, LOL.
