2008 FJCruiser Enters The Middle East Market!!

[nylon]

I have good news, bad news and good news!

Lets start with the Good news..

Last week Toyota of Saudi Arabia has introduced the new 2008 FJC to the Saudi market FjCruiserarabia, as well as the Gulf States! Therefore, the Gulf States are the third countries after the US & Canada to officially sell the FJC.

The Bad News are...

I wont be special any more driving my FJC down the streets of Saudi.. And it's much cheaper than what I bought it for at Vermont Toyota on December 06.

The final Good news are...

I’m the proud owner of the only 07 FJC TRD SE in Saudi Arabia and now I’ll still be somewhat special in the new FJC community of Saudi. Finally, I’m so lucky now not to have to worry about spare parts and accessories anymore =)


Best Regards,

It will still be awhile before you really see many of them on the roads there. I love both of your cars -- great quality.

Cool to see your rig is for sale over there now. I have a buddy working in Abu Dhabi and he told me that he is seeing the pop up all over (the dude he works for has one but, he usually buys everything that is neat from anywhere in the world). Did you see that on the website in the original thread that there is an option for the end plate X's that were on the concept vehicle?
