I saw one of these things cruising around tonite. It was parked in Mt Lawley near the Queens. Then it passed me as I was going home. Some kind of promotional vehicle.
Had FJ cruiser.com or somesuch all over it.

It's got the old Landcruiser design cues all over it, looks a bit Hummer-ish and also looks sort of hunched forwards. Looks like the view rearward from the drivers seat could be a bit obstructed but waddoIknow....

Can't say they do anything for me.

Have one in our workshop at the moment, Very spacious in the seats but the rear is pretty small.
The more I look at it the more I start to like it, some huge rear tail lights on the car though!

Yeah i saw one covered in graphics and shit the other day, although they are weird looking.. i like them Looks old school, and different.

I look on the roads today and I swear all the manufacturers are doing there best to look like each other.

I'm off to have a butchers at one today, there are only 3 toyota caryards in WA who have a demo, and due to recent events in Japan, dealer delivery has been pushed out to mid-late June.

I like them, and think they represent great value for money for that particular market. The yellow is a bit loud, so i think i'll go for the white, and get the rims/chrome and lights all blacked out.

how big is the fuel tank on these things?

4.0 litre v6 prado does 16l/100km so it be good if the tank was similar to the 120 series or 150 series (180 litres/150 litres)

I had a squiz at one yesterday. They're quite unique. Shame no diesel option, but for the money asked, represent good value for money in a 4 x 4 with all the mod cons.
