I would think they'd discontinue the sequoia before the FJ, but who knows. I certainly hope they keep making them for a few more years. A hybrid would make things all good
No one will be able to know if they will discontinue the FJ anytime soon. Rumor has said that a redesign will come somewhere between 2010-2012... I doubt the FJ is going anywhere anytime soon.

I don't think they'll discontinue it, but if anything they might redesign it a little.

I would like to see Toyota make more FJ's with a 4x4 MT option. I would think that it would get around 22+ per gallon and offer leather as an option (because I have it and it is CHOICE).

Geez, we're not even into the '09 model year yet and already speculations on 2010? I really wish they'd just take all the suggestions from this forum and make a "super FJ" and leave it alone, but that's just me.
I give the FJ five production years, we'll see if I'm right
According to Auto Week's 2009 Buyers Guide, (just got it in the mail) in the listing for the new FJ, next to the title: "What's Next," it reads, "Death after just one generation."
Maybe word is out that the 2009 will be the last model year.
Personally, I don't see Toyota killing the FJ. Autoweek is reporting on a rumour that so far, Toyota corporate has not responded too.

If the AutoWeek article is correct and the FJ does not get a redesign, there should still be a 2010 model. Model runs are longer than three years. The 2009 model is only the third model year so a 2010 model seems likely. If sales drop dramatically, Toyota may pull the plug early but somehow I do not see that happening.
