I will be curious to see how they look all tricked out, but street ones like that just look like giant jellybeans. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Last weekend, I finally got to see and sit in an FJ. I haven’t however gotten to drive one yet. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

I was surprised at how small it is. While I think the exterior is kinda-of "cute" the interior is a real mess. To me, the rig comes across as a toy and a bit girlie.

So the FJ's are out now. Looks a bit too retro for my taste.

I kind of like the silver but waiting for white or red. I like that they already have a lot of aftermarket mods, here's some pics.

Ha http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif, but honestly the FJ does have a unique look that not everyone will like but seeing it next to the H3 does make the FJ look better.

I actually drove a pre-production model last year in Santa Monica (My brother works for Edmunds). At that time we had our H3 and I liked the Hummer's interior and exterior better. However, the technology that went into creating the FJ is pretty damn impressive.

Kacyck - Is the FJ as ugly as the pictures in person? How did the engine in the FJ compare to the H3 based on your drive?

I'm not questioning your statements, but this post brings teh funnay: Looking at the FJ it doesn't seem to be lacking in approach angles (VS the H3) (Para's and italics from KenP). Whatever. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Toyota always puts their best foot forward and I'm sure the FJ is great at waht it does, but I can't see how one could out wheel and H3.

Had the FJ been available when I bought my H3, I would have strongly considered it. I wanted the most capable vehicle off-road, without lots of modifications. I think we'll all get used to the looks of the FJ. There's one on the local lot, gonna stop and check it out.

I can understand why you guys went with a shifter instead of buttons. Your market research for potential FJ owners showed a high percentage of people who like long shafts.

Actually the research for the FJ showed a high percentage of potential owners already owned long shafts and knew how to use them. I haven't seen the Market research for the H3 but I can only assume they gave it buttons because it showed that H3 owners have never owned long shafts and wouldn't know how to handle them.

I can understand why you guys went with a shifter instead of buttons. Your market research for potential FJ owners showed a high percentage of people who like long shafts.

Actually the research for the FJ showed a high percentage of potential owners already owned long shafts and knew how to use them. I haven't seen the Market research for the H3 but I can only assume they gave it buttons because it showed that H3 owners have never owned long shafts and wouldn't know how to handle them. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

But we know how to find the right "button" every time http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ding Ding Ding!!! Ladies and well, more ladies. We have a winner! Its obvious that H3 drivers know how to handle a ladies "special" button http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

While studies show that Xterra and FJ owners only know how to play with their shafts... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

By themselves...

ARB bumper, winch, lights, TRD wheels, 32" BFG AT's

Stock grill guard, Hella lights, 32" BFG AT's, options avaliable Summer 06. Now I know what bothers me about the design. It looks like an old fashioned ambulance. Somebody should photoshop the last picture, and turn it red and white, make the off road lights red, and there you go mini off road ambulance http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Looks capable on paper and probably has Toyota quality. But all these pictures still look ugly.
