Wow. I had just gotten off the phone with a buddy of mine here in town that works for Toyota.

Yeah it was, I saw it on there on like Thurs or Fri of last week. Man, I have been searching all over for any spy pictures...freaking nothing!! Even did searches on Yahoo Japan, after having it translated with Babelfish (which sucks going from Japanese to English BTW)...

Hey, I had to start somewhere. I basically cut and pasted what I put here. I put it several places.

isn't it a US only model, so it'll probably not have anything to do with japan

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but Toyota updated their web site (it is different than what was on it earlier this week) with some specs of the vehicle.

I don't buy that as the final -heard leaks about changes to roof pillars /glass area and that is identical to prototype. I think that is a decoy until the final production version is unveiledshows up. the little quote /notes don't say anything about front and rear winches even tho they are clearly visible in the picks....

 

[Chriscanoe]

If you read the fine print it says prototype shown and subject to change. Also says black steel wheels which sounds promising.

Yeah, it says "prototype shown" in small letters on the website.

I'm real curious -just bought the 100 so I'll be a little disappointed if it turns out to be a bad-ass cruiser for about what I just paid...but I still love my rocklimo and I can buy a used FJ cruiser in a couple years from a and avoid the depreciation and excise tax hit. AND I want anything from Toyota with "cruiser" and "FJ" in its name to be worthy of those titles.
