Ah, Toyota, the automotive equivalent of a geriatric who just can’t let go of their old toys. The FJ Cruiser? That clunky, quirky relic that was left behind in the ’90s is now being dusted off like a relic from a museum’s attic. It’s like they’re trying to recapture the magic of the ‘Mad Men’ era, but with a car. And what’s with this ‘Land Cruiser FJ’ nonsense? Sounds like a name that could’ve come from a bad B-movie. The idea of it being based on the IMV 0 platform? That’s the equivalent of trying to build a battleship out of cardboard. I can already see the headlines now: ‘Toyota’s New SUV: The Box That Could Break Your Bank and Your Backbone.’ And at $26,000 to $30,000, you’re getting a tiny SUV with a price tag that makes you wonder if it’s going to charge you a premium for oxygen. It’s a land Cruiser, sure, but is it going to actually rule the roads or just be a novelty that American drivers will scoff at? It’s almost as if Toyota is saying, ‘We’re so desperate to relive the past that we’re willing to sacrifice quality for nostalgia.’ And to think they already have the 4Runner to satisfy the off-road enthusiasts. But no, they have to throw another SUV into the mix. Just don’t expect it to come with a time machine.
