The Toyota FJ Cruiser (GSJ10, GSJ15) is a retro-style Compact SUV by Toyota introduced as a concept at the 2003 Chicago Auto Show and in production form at the following North American International Auto Show . On sale in early 2006 as a 2007 model, it features styling reminiscent of the original FJ-series Land Cruiser s from the 1960s but is based on the Hi-Lux Platform also used by the modern 4Runner and Land Cruiser Prado . The FJ Cruiser is primarily aimed at competing with the Nissan Xterra , Jeep Wrangler and the Honda Element . Base pricing is between $21,000 (RWD Automatic) and $23,000 (4WD Automatic). Many enthusiasts of the original FJ series trucks have been very vocal in their opposition to the new vehicle, decrying not only its long wheelbase, but its lack of both a diesel engine and solid front axle as well. At 183.9 inches in length, the FJ Cruiser will slot between the smaller RAV4 (181.1 in wheelbase and was originally rumored to be replaced by the FJ Cruiser) and the Midsize Highlander (184.6 in wheelbase). The addition of the FJ Cruiser adds a sixth SUV in Toyota's American lineup, meaning Toyota will have two compact SUVs (the RAV4 and FJ Cruiser), two midsize SUVs (Highlander and 4Runner), and two Fullsize SUVs (Land Cruiser and Sequoia ). It is also Toyota's only vehicle in its current line up to use the name ''TOYOTA'' spelled out across the grill like the older Land Cruiser models as well as other Toyota models from their past.
