I'm VERY anxious to see the new Toyota SUV, the FJ Cruiser. This car will be priced below the est. H3, looks cool and was designed by Toyota to be a real SUV. I've even started my own website in anticipation of FJ Cruiser. Check out the gallery and tell me if you don't think this car has more flair and functionality than the H3.  |
Even uglier than the Hummer line. Blech.

You mean people who don't give a **** about the environment or care about anyone else and believe that bigger=safer despite factual information that proves just the opposite?
Oh, I'm sure you'll find a lot of those ****ing idiots around here. They won't use signals either.

Noooo. Can't be. I vehicle built to evade the gas guzzling tax by making it weigh just a tad over the limit for regulations can't possibly be overkill, and I don't know what you're talking about but I never see any large luxury SUVs around....
Funny how they've got so many options yet apparently they don't come with signals.

Lebowski would never drive an H2. Nor would anyone else who was remotely intelligent.

Thanks for providing instructions for the SUV driving crowd. They have a little trouble with things like that.

YAEH BUT WE NEED EM FOR FLOODIN IN FLORIDA CUZ WITHOUT ONE WED ALL DIE AND SO THERE I NEED ONE!
SUV refers to incompetent vehicles marketed towards stupid people with ego problems who're easily persueded into thinking that an unsafe vehicle is safer, poor handling doesn't matter because it 'all boils down to the driver', and have mental issues about being more important or bigger than everyone else.

Yeah I'd NEED one if I lived in Florida. I mean dang they flood all the time and sometimes I could use the turret to take care of hurricanes or something! I 'need' one!

I'm anything but a hippie. I like fast cars and I think that using oil is fine if used intelligently, but there's a huge difference between being conscious about conservation and recycling, versus abusing the environment by driving a pointless dangerous excessmobile or being over-protective and not using anything.

The new FJ Crusier gets a lot of its styling cues from the original Toyota FJ40, one of the first commercial cars Toyota every marketed in the U.S. The original FJ40 was a marvel, and I think the new Cruiser is a worthy update to its legacy. Tastes are subjective, but either way, you better get used to it. Two years from now you'll see one of these for every 10 hummers.
What the hell is an SUV lover?
More to the point...what makes one a "serious" SUV lover?

Is a hummer... all else is a waste of money (IMO of course).
I remember when you can get one of these for like $50K. Too bad I was in high school then...

Well Cody already has her Suburban and even if thru some miracle of persuasion you convinced her to get rid of it, it would just be sold to someone else who would drive it. The best you can do is show her the safety statistics and hope that she takes them into consideration when buying her next vehicle. You could even offer her some more environment friendly alternatives that still meet her occupant capacity needs, if you're that concerned about it.

You sound like a jealous person. Do you ever notice you seem to envy what other people have a lot? I get that impression from you. Jealousy.
Buy a Jeep.
