Normally, The Boston Globe is good for wrapping fish, but I found this interesting.
"Toyota has built a world-class off - road vehicle with the FJ. It's reminiscent of the original Toyota Land Cruiser of more than 30 years ago, though -- as would be expected -- with far better technology.
This 2007 is supposed to be retro, so naturally it's going to be boxy. The legendary Cruiser was boxy, too.
Yes, it is truck-like. That's because Toyota set out to build a rugged off - road vehicle. Building this model to car-like specifications would have been like plopping the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon atop a Chrysler 300 AWD platform and saying, "Here you go, folks. Be happy on the highway, but good luck off road..."
That quote is from a reviewer who realizes that an FJ is a truck. The link is below.
