a large # of FJ's in Calgary now!!

[the magnetguy]

Was down this morning to the new auto storage yards where vehicles are held until delivery date.I counted roughly 40 FJ's of all colors in the yard!! Was down at the dealer as well where they have a life size cut-out of the FJ in their showroom. The official release date of these units is March21- right across Canada. Hope my yellow FJ is in that first batch!!

Poor things look cold in that harsh Canadian climate.

Better send them down to Southern California.

Hey guys, a newbie to the forum but not the FJ. I think that Silver one up front is mine :>) I have one ordered through a small dealership just outside of Calgary.

sweet....im going to head down and try to get a test drive...

 

[rjp1]

I don't think the dealerships have anything yet - I called Heninger and they told me they might have a demo available early next week. My guess is that the 27th will be the earliest you can actually touch one.

what is the price going to be for a manual, with cloth interior, and the 4x4 package?

 

[rjp1]

Not sure what package you are refering to - base, B or C. Within Calgary, all of the dealers seem to be selling for MSRP so if you take a look at the Toyota web site (www.Toyota.ca) you can check out all of the pricing.

High River is actually willing to give a discount on MSRP if you are good with a 30 minute drive.

They dont look too bad, but they arent a RUBICON.

rjp1 are you getting one of these bad boys? what are you driving right now?

 

[rjp1]

I'm supposed to pick it up on the 28th but, from everything I have seen, the dates seem to be fuzzy.

I actually just have a car right now - want an SUV as it's currently a PIA to get the mountain bike out to the trail (not to mention bringing the muddy bike / owner home). Also want to get out x-country skiing more. I was going to pick up a Taco but, late last year, found the FJ - seems like a good match. Like the idea of the full time 4wd for winter driving - something the Taco didn't have. Might get offroad in a few years - can't see it happening right away though.

sweet... im hoping to get a diesel 4x4...HDJ maybe..but they are pricey...

 

[rjp1]

I take it you do a lot of off-roading then? Pretty serious machine for the daily commute :>)

 

[hill]

not tons of crazy 4x4...more jeep trails camping on the weekend, that kinda thing.
