New FJ cruiser anyone?

Yea, so my Si is almost paid off(about 6-9months left of payments)
and Im thinking of getting a SUV
Ii like the look of the new Fj cruiser ALOT
Most people i show it to, or whatever say its ugly...
Thats prolly why i like it.
Anyone here have one, or have any comments about them?

Sorta Looks like a toyota Hummer Or the older Mercedes G wagon-Gone toyota to me..

i've driven it a few tiimes at my job. Its a pretty neat car, its like a new jeep and toyota land cruiser combined. Honestly i'm not too crazy about it, but its not horrible looking.

I thought they looked good, until I kept seeing one. I will admit that the Black Cherry looks friggin' sweet as a color. It'd look awesome on an RSX-S. :drool:

I saw one on a rainy day. I had to do a double take as I saw THREE wipers swing up on the windshield. They seem pretty awesome for the type of market they are going for. I'm not a fan of the suicide door design though... but then again I'm a hypocrite cause I love the RX-8's styling, just not the price.

I've heard rumors that they're kind of in the same boat as civics these days in regards to supply vs. demand. Apparently there's a wait on the FJ Cruiser.... at least, that's what I've heard. Personally, I don't care for them much.

Hmm its possible.
I havent seen a single one on the road yet.
However my local dealer had to of had atleast 12-15 of them just sitting on the lot.
I stopped in to grab a book.
Got harassed by a few salesmen.
Asked if i wanted to drive any of them.
i passed on it.
Didnt wanna waste the salesmens time

I've seen a couple around downtown Austin, but that's about the extent of my interaction/interest with them. I could be wrong about the wait list.

Does anyone else here think that the FG Cruiser looks like a Mini had "piihb" sex with an H3 and gave birth to that?

I like it for the FG, in name only. And, again, Cherry Black. I dunno...the more I see them, the ugly I think they tend to look.
