Hey it might not of been better than the Jeep Wrangler in any way (maybe reliability) but I still liked it!

Hope they have something worthy to pick up the FJ torch.

A former teacher of mine who's also interested in cars has a yellow one with a stick shift. She loves it.

Kind of disappointing, but... yeah, I didn't know they still made them either.

Sadness overcame his body as he learned of the strong vehicle's fate. Darkness enveloped his being and his very core melted then re-hardened into a pillar of stone. "No tears," he muttered, "I must be strong."

But something deep in the recesses of his cerebellum snapped. He hopped into a Jeep Wrangler and drove it into a koi pond located outside of Toyota HQ. Millions joined together and marched into the crash vicinity. "Your bourgeoise ways are outdated!" they chanted, "the people revolt!"

Akio Toyoda himself called in the Japanese military, and a magnificent battle erupted in the streets of Tokyo. Eventually, the citizens pulled through. Victorious, they held toyota executives at gunpoint as they redesigned and produced a new FJ Cruiser.

I always sorta liked the FJ. But I never seriously considered it because Toyota only saw fit to include the Torsen center diff on the manual transmission version. I like stick shifts but for a truck I don't do serious off-roading. On-road, it's a boring to drive truck that would get me through winter, which for me I would want the Torsen and automatic.
