This one doesn't require electricity or hyperlinks to make it work either!! and you can hold it!!

I just saw the new Motor Trend. Not the best magazine but they feature a full article on a silver FJ. No new info really but it's nice to see it in mags now. Oh I saw that Truck Trends too that everyone was talking about. It's a yellow one in that one. Not much info.

Anyway...the pics are purdy

The Only New Info That I Want Is When And How Much?

Me too!!! However, I could wait a bit longer knowing I will be able to afford the damn thing. God, I just hope the price is fairly reasonable. Toyota said it was going to be affordable, but to who??

THE MOST RESENT INFO WAS ON http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=108557#3
THEY HAD ONE PRICE AS TESTED $29K

We know from the article and the acceleration test that they were testing one that had the Upgrade Package #2 on it - it had a subwoofer and they were testing the automatic.

Let's hope the manual is cheaper and the sub is DAMN expensive.

In that Edmunds article there was nothing listed fo base price and price as tested on the last page

Yes, in the column on the right, it says that the price as tested was $29.5K.

Hot pics Pancho, thanks for that!

29.5? That's pretty steep. After taxes/destination charge your easily looking at 30k+ for just upgrade package 2.
How bout the TRD package? That'll be another 2500?

This is from the Edmunds review

Preliminary mileage numbers are 18/22 for the automatic 4x2, 16/19 for the 4x4 with manual transmission and 17/21 for the 4x4 automatic.

This is from the Edmunds review.
16 mpg is only 1 mpg better than the Mercedes G500, which has the worst mpg rating of any SUV. I find that a bit discouraging.

It is discouraging, but... get the TRD Sport Tuned Exhaust, it might give you a slight jump, maybe one or two... You have to remember you are buying a badass 4x4. Consider that badass 4x4 even just one or two years ago meant under 10 miles per gallon. So, at least they are getting better. Not much, granted, but they are getting better.

Hell even 19 is going triple what I'm currently getting so, whatever. I would like to see them get mid-high 20's. It seems ridiculous that we can build a quad-core processing computer with a radiator, but we can't build a 4x4, with good mileage!

That make little sense to me becouse historically any manual will get better MPG then automatics. Is there something I missing?

 

[smartdog]

Roosterdo -

Me thinks that is cus the 6spd manual is a full time AWD set up, and the Auto is a part time 4wd set up.

More driveline drag = less mpg.

That's my best guess
