Default Saw this car on the highway earlier...

A Toyota FJ Cruiser.

It's a mix between a Hummer, Jeep and Element. I like the retro style and the bold lines of the car, it really makes it stand out face to a competition of SUVs that are way too civilized, way too bland to my taste, and built only for the urban jungle.


4 litre V6 engine.
239HP, 278TQ
4WD, 4295lbs

Starts at $21,000

I want one

IMO, it's a shameless effort to whore out the FJ name. h:

Maybe I'm too fond of the original FJ40's design, but I look at this new one and I only think "mall crawler."

:shrug: My 2 ¥.
