American Car Imports of London Promote the 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser

American Car Imports in London have been very successful in promoting the new Toyota FJ Cruiser. Combining retro styling with serious off-road capabilities and superb cutting edge design this is one seriously up to date SUV.

London, United Kingdom, April 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- American Car Imports in London one of the UK's leading American vehicle importers are promoting the new Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Toyota sold more than a million of the original FJ40 vehicles worldwide beginning in 1960, and more than 300,000 Land Cruisers have found U.S. buyers since. There are still FJ40s in service in some of the roughest terrains in the world, even though Toyota hasn't built them since 1983.

Based on the 4Runner, the production FJ Cruiser is remarkably unchanged from the well-received concept that was first shown at the 2003 Detroit auto show. Toyota revealed the exterior prototype of the production vehicle at last year's Chicago Auto Show, declaring it as a return to the roots of SUVs.

Four-wheel-drive FJ Cruisers are very capable off-road. Whilst the vehicle measures eleven inches shorter than a 4Runner, its wheelbase is shortened by only four inches, which should result in good departure and approach angles. An available locking rear differential and the economical 4.0-liter V-6, rated at 245 hp and 282 lb-ft of torque, will help off road drivers enjoy the vehicle as much as those on the road.

The FJ's way out styling is definitely more interesting than its competitors'. Taking cues from the first-generation Land Cruiser, such as round headlights with an integrated grille, the upright windshield, the white-cap roof, and wraparound rear glass. In recent years heritage and nostalgia have been popular with consumers and the car manufacturers have responded, Ford with the Thunderbird, GT40 and the iconic Mustang, Volkswagen with the Beetle, and BMW with the Mini and now Toyota is here with the FJ.

The FJ has an array of standard equipment, such as a CD player, air-conditioning, power windows and power locks, and in common with the rest of the Toyota SUV line up-stability and traction control, ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, and brake assist. Optional front-side and front and rear side curtain air bags add to the safety factor. However, the fun starts with the extensive options list, your FJ Cruiser can be personalized in numerous ways, no two FJ’s need be the same.

With prices ranging from the low £20,000’s to the low £30,000’s there is an FJ for every customer.
