Yellow with the white top...

I have to say it almost made me trade in my 05 Tacoma for it...

They had 14 on the lot, and sold 12 in the first few hours of business, the one I was looking at when I pulled up while I was standing there, and expected the last one to sell by the end of the day....

Tough call between the new V6 RAV4 with the 6 speed though.... I see the good in both..

I can appriciate the fact that you don't like it. That's your opinion. But the interior doesn't look anything like the H2's if you ask me. The FJ is nothing like the H2 when you see them in person.

H2

FJ

Just bought one that looks just like the one in your pictures, with the same equipment. I have almost 1000 miles on it and I love it.

I have never had so many people ask me about my vehicle. On several occassions, people have asked me if they could take pictures of it.

I'm in the same position as you are 55, lol Test drove one yesterday, already talking over the possibility of trading in the Taco. Dealers can eat my ass with their markups though....

I have to agree. Once you get inside, it's nothing like that of the H2. Inside, if looks like you're really high up and with the small windows, it's like you're driving a big ass truck.

I just test drove one today with the 6-spd manual and man, that thing shifts so damn smooth with less work while shifting gears. Ride quality is very nice, and that thing has power when needed. I almost ended up buying it too, but too bad I can't at the moment.

I also test drove the tC with TRD supercharger from the dealer and that thing is quick too, but the shifting is kind of shakey to me, overall, I would buy it for quickness and it was only $18k. But between the FJ and the tC, I would get the FJ in a heartbeat.
