What the FUCK is this piece of shit?

[ill-advised strategy]

Not to enflame anyone here, but as for the "buy american" part...it's always good to make sure that chevy's not being made in Mexico before you assume you're buying American. I'd rather buy a Nissan built in Kentucky than a Chevy built in Mexico.

[Free Range Lobster]

Chevy pickups are still built in the US.

But Nissan gets its parts from Japan.
No clue where Chevy is getting their truck parts.

But I'm talking trash anyhow, I own a WRX.
I just think the "retro" design is a little out of whack and half the "retro" vehicles are ugly as fuck, whats that origional things chassis? A fucking Corrola like half their "suvs"?.

The Cruiser is a Tacoma chassis.

for $50,000 I think I'd rather have 25 of these:

FUCK YA
I drove one in high school - AMC Eagle Spirit! The best car in snow and ice EVER. Built like a tank, heavy as hell, and had the drive train and ground clearance of Jeep Cherokees. Basically a CJ/Cherokee with a car body.

AMC 20 axle, IFS, part time transfercase, same 258ci (4.2L) engine as CJs and early YJ wranglers.

THE subaru BEFORE subarus - it still sits in our drive way at home. I grew up in it, was my "parking" car in high school :-) Sucker can actually climb hills well and with the IFS has awesome flex stock :-)

thought it was 4runner...according to press release:

The five-passenger FJ Cruiser rides on a modified 4Runner platform and features 17-inch steel wheels and four-wheel disc brakes.

[Cornholio]

Huh. From Car and Driver:

"The FJ Cruiser, based on a modified Tacoma platform..."

It's not a car chassis, though. I still think it's rad.

You do know that green hatchback is a subaru..right? It's from this lifted subaru page here.

Not to take anything away from the Eagle contingent....the ultimate warrior is the Eagle hatchback with a 390 AMX motor and 33" swampers. We had one of those around my hometown back in the day.

good call...my bad. Someone was definitely stealing styling from someone:

Can't believe they're making a 2wd version. (pukes in mouth)

That is not a landcruiser.

I can't shake the feeling that gay G.I. Joe guys are going to get out of it at any moment.

People on the landcruiser site had a similar feeling.
