Just needs an "Armagaurd" sticker on it and it will look right at home outside the bank.

Sort of like a hatchback Hummer?

Major standard features: AM FM CD; Part time 4wd and variable height seat belt mounts, little bloody 4.0 V6, far out, like wow!!!!! $23gs I'd like to see that! FJ55 revisited, but only if it has a front bench seat! But geez guys, no more ugly than some other Toyo items, which seem to sell well.

Had a close look at Nissan Murano? Did so on Saturday, bizarre! Wouldn't take that off road. (nice donk tho')

Apart from that it looks like they had 3 different designers for different parts of the body and then joined them together

Yeah add tax and then consider the usual Toyota thing -

a base 4x4 Hilux can be had for under $50K BUT then you gotta add the fancy options like air con (and seat belts and oxygen :wink: ) and it quickly gets up over 60 large !

( Just ask Captain Rightfoot - his nephew is buying ANOTHER one :!: :roll: )

its too ugly to be real.

Just having some fun at Toyo's expense there, Vlad. Pity we can't buy vehicles at those prices.....

But SERIOUSLY, I've worked out its heritage... It's the LWB version of the

Ssanyyonggg Kurando.

WHY?????

Who would want to recover a vehicle that looks like that?

ARB has done a bull bar for it already so obviously someone thinks it will sell.

But yes I agree it is fugly.

Thinking out of left field here but could it possibly have been made to counter the release of the new Defender :?: :?:

Not that I think Toyota is concerned about Land Rover sales but the new Defender will stand in a market segment of its own ... any takers on this theory 8)

Still an ugly bitch of a thing ... wonder how long before every housewife and her hairdresser drives a new metro-seksual FJ Toyo?
