I'm at the hotel in Chicago, will have to wait til I get home tomorrow night to post pics, I got quite a few! I picked up a few brochures for anyone interested. The Toyota rep said the FJ Cruiser will start in the low 20's! I'm actually really shocked... maybe that's without the interior! I begged them to open the door, they wouldn't do it, just said it's empty inside. You could see the steering wheel and the top of the dash, it looked the same as the early prototype from what I could tell. It actually didn't look bad in person, the color looks much better in person also.
The most fun I had was listening to stupid people around me talking about it, my favorite, "oh, I see, fj... like a jeep cj... they wanted people to compare it to the jeep cj" OK, how did I refrain from turning around and smacking him? Everyone around me thought it was just a prototype, I was there for about an hour before some idiot got up and said about 45 seconds worth of info about it, disappointing to say the least. I must have told at least a dozen people standing next to me that it in fact will be in production, where were the reps? They should have hired some of us cruiserheads to walk around and tell people about it!
