FJ Cruiser

I took these shots at the Detroit Auto Show 2003. It is really a neat Concept Vehicle. It is hard to tell with the pictures but the bezel and roof are a very light silver, not white. While none of the Toyota people that I spoke with at the show knew anything about it here is what I gathered from some observations.

"The FJ Cruiser is based on the Land Cruiser FJ40, the off-road spirit of which has continued to serve as a source of inspiration for more than half a century. It was developed with modern vehicle concepts in mind to appeal to the small truck market and younger drivers." - JCN News wire

Rumored to have been designed in CA and may actually make it to production. (After some refinement I'm sure)
