I see the FJ being much like the Highlander.

It's a great vehicle standard...but once you start adding a few options the price skyrockets.

Plus with such limited expected production in the first two years, you're going to see them going at a premium....there will be NO haggling in price.

Best case scenerio, keep your Scion...if you're in the market for a second vehicle and don't have a family, this could be perfect.

I wonder if they'll have a bike rack that attaches to the tow hitch. Rear clearance sonar? The FJC40 goes under water? :rofl: It does need it though with that huge tire rack hanging off the back. I'll wait after I turn 25 in a few months and take a test drive. I still prefer a pickup though. It is cheaper than the Tacoma DC w/6ft bed, V6 auto. Why can't Scion have a 4x4 pickup truck that has 5-seat belts, with a 2.4L engine (optional S/C) and sits lower to the ground than the Taco? :lalala:

You are correct. 4x2 is only available in 5 speed automatic tranny... Correction made on my previous post.

I remember seeing that at the NYC auto show last year. All the windows were painted black cause they had not yet figured out what interior they were going to use. The only thing i dont like about it are the tails. The roundness on the outside edge just screams to be hit by something and break. Can you say fix-it ticket? I knew you could.

18/22 (2WD AT) 16/19 (4WD MT) 17/21 (4WD AT)

OK, the mileage isn't great, but I still want one!

There's a nice article in the new 4WD Toyota Owner magazine of the FJ going through the famous Rubicon trail, I'm going for the orange color, although the Black Cherry is sweet too. When you compare it to the competition (Element/Jeep Rubicon) its a great deal. I just hope the back seats have as much room as the Xb, although the pics dont look promising.

That's a lot more than my first FJ-40. :P (1973, $3400, new).

Adjusted for inflation, that's:

1. $14090.73 in the year 2003 has the same "purchase power" as $3400 in the year 1973.

According to:
http://eh.net/hmit/ppowerusd/

I'd calculate using CPI for 2005, but I'm too lazy. I'd imagine the recent spike in inflation over the last two years would bring up that figure a bit. Considering the added features (such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, etc etc) it's not a bad deal, relative to the historic price.

To bad the one pictured retails for about $30.000.

Have you seen a picture of a stock one? It'll make you think twice about getting one.
