I dunno about you guys, but even if they put out a color that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, I ain't buyin' nothin' that gets 14mpg again...
When they come out with a FJ with a 4.2L Diesel and 20+mpg, then I'll run-crawl-skateboard to my closest dealer and give 'em a blank check. My next vehicle purchase, particularly if it's a FJ, I'll wanna keep for the next 20+ years. But gas, by 2010, is estimated to be 4 bux-a-gallon, easy. And that's with things in the Middle-ages, errr, I mean, Middle-East going in the West's favor and Iran not using its Nukes and...
Now yearly costs for gas, when ones does the math, really aren't that high; but that being said, I still want to be able to run that bio-diesel in the future if the need arises. And believe me it will. IN OUR LIFETIMES!
So we need to start a WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN to Toyota and hip them to the untapped demand that exists out here for a higher-mileage, high-torque 4x4. Just like the Landcruiser they still sell in Australia! The FJC would be perfect or it!
Damn. If the stinky Europeans can get 'em, why can't we?
Any other suggestions on how to get this off the ground?
email Toyota at: (unless somebody has a better email address??)
