If you've seen this before you can drool again..... if you haven't.... get some kleenex handy. This is what Toyota should be making

hands down i would turn in my keys to both my fj40 and my lx450 to drive that any day.

Now we`re talking.Old + new=drool.Can I tow my 40 with it?

Cruisin'Carolina · 02-15-05, 07:46 AM

That would be the real deal! They'd have to price it about as much as a new LX, but it would sure beat gettin a Hummer!

Yeah, you can drop about 6 times the coin to drive it too.....

No way...wouldn't want one. It's huge. Other than the FJ40 look up front and a slightly lower/wider stance, that thing has H1/H2 written all over it. High doors, with fairly small windows in them (although this is better than the H2, way too similar for me). Inside look way too Hummer-ish for me, wide vehicle with a big console...no thanks... Now that same vehicle scaled down some, to where it's into the 4Runner/Xterra size would be cool I think, but just way too big at the moment.

Retrocruiser = $300K as it sits, prolly $70K+ in production

FJ "stupid" Cruiser = $17-$25K

I would buy the stupid one before the retro.
