It's built like a tank and can do serious off roading right out of the showroom floor.

Hey no one buys the Jeep Wrangler because of it's svelte and sexy style either (sic).

So that analogy was quite a bit skewed.
Couldn't agree more, FJ Cruiser is a major hit. So much so that Toyota was going to discontinue it until the uproar made them reconsider. I almost bought one myself, but I almost killed myself with a Jeep Grand Cherokee out here in Oregon, we have old logging roads that don't lend themselves to Camaros, but they sure do for 4x4's.

The Aztec was HORRIBLE, it was like al-queda designed that for a car bomb and thought nobody would care, ha.
