Default FJ Cruiser


Hey have you guys checked out the new 07 Toyota FJ Cruisers? They just got one in here. Seems like it wants to compete with the H3.

I think it's pretty cool (retro throwback and all) and love the molded plastic/rubber floormat interior but the back doors (kinda short suicide doors) won't work for us.

Although you would have Toyota's reliablity and quality in build..it is still a first year car (beware) and in one word...U-G-L-Y[sm=yikesomg.gif]

Interior very nice looks like more option the we have and the new interlock shifter.
The only thing i would change is the back lights they stick out to far nice roof rack not like ours like shortbus
and a nice molded back tire cover hard plastic all of it.
I can't wait to the new broncos come out that going to be something they are going to be like the 69 ones thoses where awsome.

They are going to sell that for sure .

But when i pulled away when i was leaving the salesmen where look at mine driving by there eye just followed the truck

Thanks Mark..One more question; Did you happen to notice if the leg room and seating position would be comfortable? And is the cabin space big enough (head room) for a 6'3 guy or gal?..In other words, would it look like I would be wearing it, rather than sitting in it..Know what I mean?

I have to admit, I've always trusted Toyota, I've had Celicas and Supras and they were 100% dependable...So this FJ is getting my attention inspite of it's butt ugly looks...Maybe it's that baby bonnet blue color I don't like so much..I donno[:'(]

Yes plenty of leg room in the front the back is a little tight
The one i look at was black it was sharp looking and i seen a silver one around that the best color hides scratches and always looks clean

First time I saw the cruiser I thought Toyota was pulling a joke on us....uglier than a mthrfckr.
Please excuse the lingo.
