I have to say I just looked at one of these today, and what a POS! It's the Fugly Jalopy. The model was $33,--- and it's so far from the quality of the H3 inside. Cheap, rough plastic crap everywhere, chinsy controls (the AC controls are so large they look cartoonish), and the seats and doors sounded and felt unappealing. The rear hatch was my favorite. It opened with a jumpy motion instead of a smooth flow. Not nearly as heavy as the H3 rear hatch, and when you closed it, the vehicle felt just as light.

Outside, the underbody has stuff hanging out everywhere, and the pumpkin in the rear looks like it hangs lower than the H3 shock mounts. Very messy underneath. I'll believe it's off-road abilities when I see it follow behind any Hummer on the trail.

EDIT: Perhaps I saw a model without underbody protection. I don't remember everything neatly covered.

For the cheap feeling of this thing inside, and the freakish looks outside, I can't see how this will be an H3 competitor.

So now, as when I first posted, the FJ Cruiser is no threat to the H3. Obviously, the vast majority of buyers will probably buy it "because it's a Toyota".

We have a Toyota Dealer across the street from us and one of their managers brought an FJ over yesterday to try and go through our test track. It made t past the rollers but did not clear even the log crossing. No way it was even going to be close on the step protion.

Why couldn't it do the log? Was it the front or did it high center?

Saw one, didn't like it. Like the H3 better.

Ground Clearance that would not even clear the log crossing on our track.

Strange operation of the rear door shock. It has a small clip that you are supposed to push to lock the door in place. I could not get it to work on this one.

Had to move the front seat all the way forward to get this much room to get in the back seat.

Strange, the halfshafts go UP to the hubs instead of downward. The suspension looks like ground clearance wasn't even considered.

Those tail lights are going to be popped a lot on the trail, I would think.

Notice that part of the skid plate is a screen looking material. That is what it actually looks like, guaranteed to catch on everything and tear off.

Taillights look like warts. Got to believe it looks better in person than the pictures.
