FJ Cruiser.

This thing is big! I've seen all colours except yellow so far on the road (the yellow was on display at the auto show)

Big?
I saw one at the dealer and it wasn't as large as I had anticipated.
Does anyone have side-by-side comparitive pictures with other vehicles?

Ah, "Cruiser" thanks!

I thought it was big myself...

...but in a Toyota kinda way.

I think the Sequoia is much bigger... Could be wrong, but it didn't seem as big as a Sequoia... Looks cool as hell though, but for 27K....meh....

They're kinda neat looking! I've been seeing at least one every day around here...black, silver, yellow, blue. They look like big toys.

hmm... not big as in... say a Suburban is big. It's short in length but quite tall. Just wait til one drives by while you're sitting in the Prius lol.

They are the reincarnate of the old FJ40's from 1960-1984 that were in competition with the Jeep CJ series. They are far bigger than their predecessors and are roughly the same size as the Land Cruisers and Rovers.....although they do seem to be a little taller.
