Outside my work this yellow 2 door SUV thing pulled up with a white roof. At first i thought it was the new H3, but it was 2 doors...pretty sure its a American car...

i grabed my camera phoen to snap a pick, but it drove away...

ring a bell to anyone?

It's capable, unlike a Nissan Murano or <cute sport-ute name goes here>.

It's just the sticker that scares me... haven't seen the price yet, and something tells me I don't want to :ph34r:

They got an awesome review in last weekeds paper. Tremendous "value" was the theme of the article. VERY nice to see it have a manual tranny.

The moment I saw '2 door with white roof' I new it was the new Cruiser.

Took tonnes of pics at last years auto show. Was REALLY popular, as it was the first capable 4WD on the market that is also affordable for a LONG time. Hell, to get a decent TJ, you're looking at $30k!

It'll be interesting to see what the aftermarket comes up for it. Would be nice to get a diesel in that bad boy too!

yeah I saw two of them at Milton Toyota out front.... they look ok, but not my taste.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I just saw one at the dealership tonight... I like the look. Old school Toyota 4x4's are nice... but not my taste neither. I love the fact they're bringing a modern look to their old design.
