Found this link from USA Today Car section reviewing the FJ. Thought I would pass it on.

They said that there are about 60,000 being produced this year. That's a little off. And they said it was hard to corner and turn in it. After driving a Ram QC previously, I can park so easily in the store parking lot it's ridiculous. All in all, I guess it was a decent revue.

Who needs visability anyways. I just barrel thru town like I'm the only one on the road.

You can adjust to all these obstacles if you want to bad enuf. I guess everyone has different priorities.

Very mainstream review, IMHO. He readily admints about the only "off-roading" he did was drive it through a field....if you want all the stuff he was griping about, don't buy an FJ; it ain't a grocery getter.

I beg to differ.........you can fit ALOT of groceries in the back of that bad baby! Hell, last time I went muddin I had a new vac still in the box in the back! This is a very versatile vehicle.

I agree, this is an FJ. The problem is that they made it look like a pretty SUV. We got it because we were sick of getting stuck, or being in our old Nissan and having to walk or bike into places when others in their P*ssy Fords and Landrovers drove by. Now, I'm leading the way. Thank you Toyota!!!!

More of these poor FJs are going to be baught by the local soccer moms and bling-bling peeps. it's inevitable.

I agree. It depends where you live. I went to Holly Jim, there were houses inside the trail/park. I envy the post man.

I'm getting tired of people complaining about the rear doors...they are access doors not passenger doors! Nobody complains about those doors on pickups or sports cars...but oh the horror of being on an SUV...how will all the kids and their soccer gear fit?!

I put the soccer gear in the back next to the groceries.
