I'm still waiting around to see one in the flesh. I give Toyota props for FJ's style.

Never even heard of this. Since it appears to be a more legitimately off-road Element competitor, I'm surprised it hasn't been advertised more. I like what little I see.

Toyota is using word of mouth advertising to sell this vehicle (ie - instead of having ads for it - they've dispatched vehicles for off road clubs to use, and test out, selling the car on it's merit rather than via traditional print).

One of my coworkers picked up the FJ in blue. It grows on you and it looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures. Still... not something I would ever buy.

I was thinking about buying one but after test driving them I was put off by the rather plain interior and lack of side view for rear passengers.

Capable and selling well dispite your opinion FTW.

so is the H3...

your point?

Any Toyota 4x4 > H3

$0.02

you talking off road? because if you are H3 > FJ off road.

dont forget, interior materials, and what not, just the H3 doesnt have the right engine for itself.

are you serious?

H3 off road?

dont make me laugh.

isnt the H3 a big fat body on some crappy GM pickup/SUV chassis? either way toyota are very good at going off road, land rover pwns all of course, but the big toyota 4x4's like the land cruiser have traditionally been very capable off road

and interior materials? if my dads Rav4 is anything to go by... the interior should be of very very good quality, in materials and fit n finish.

of course with all the extra steps n stuff ours has on it, coupled with the already not very high ride height, the Rav4 really cant handle much more than a gravel drive way

ill just let you know, you will be pwned if i feel like posting a link, or you can do your own research and post it yourself.

search for H3 on this board, and read the thread which compares the Xterra, H3, FJ, and Commander (i believe)

and the FJ is just thrown on a 4Runner platform which has been modified...
