FJ Cruiser discontinued end 2014?

Post by grobbepj »

i heard this "rumour"this weekend that the FJ cruiser will not make it to 2015.

Does anybody know if this is true? THere seem to be so many on the SA roads... wonder if there will be a similar attempt then...

According to my contacts at Toyota the FJ will go on in South Africa. Looks like only the USA is affected.

Getting old, remember it might be a newish thing here but the US of A had it from I think 2004. So in USA it is already 10 years old.
