When should we start hearing about the 2008 model?

How long has the FJ been available at dealerships now? Has it been 4 months or less? Plus, does Toyota follow other car company patterns in letting next year info. out in advance or is it still too early? I'm kinda curious as to what changes (if any) Toyota has planned for next year's FJ.

The only guess I feel certain about would be additional or replaced colors. The only rumours I can find is the sunroof thingy....

Looks sweet. What did the paint job set you back?

Thanks.
The paint job was partially sponsored(heavily discounted) by Premier Collision in South El Monte.

Kennedy the shop owner usually charges $4-6k for six stage paint process.

Re: When should we start hearing about the 2008 model?

According to my calendar we still have 15 months before 2008. I bet they don't share any info until March, like they did for the current version. My guess is it will be aligned with one of the SEMA events.

Boy, that'd be a bad vehicle to drive the red-light district in...wrong graphics and all.
Red would be good. Lets just hope they dont do some fugly colors like they did with the Element. Can you see the baby puke green? No! I say. We have MORALS! They may be low, but we still have some sense of what's right.
