How is anyone supposed to take it serious when the rumored rhetoric is "the FJC is for people who off road and drink beer."
I must say that those comments/quotes have me curious... Where do they come from? The only comments that I have read from Toyota have had a very different 'spin'... Here is a quote from Toyota....
"Its lineage is impeccable, since it’s the heir to the off-road throne that was occupied for a remarkable 24 years by its predecessor, the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40."
So if Toyota is saying that the FJ is the heir to the throne of a LC... Doesn't that mean that they think of it that way?
Kinda having fun with it but I do want to understand the fact that a 100 is ok to where a badge that the FJ hasn't earned even though it was designed as the continuation of the early lc line.
Thanks, I appreciate the opinions on the subject. They are definitely helping me understand the nuances of the LC 'family'.
