The 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV and 2007 Toyota Yaris Subcompact are having their world debut at the 2006 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show today, January 6, 2006. The FJ Cruiser is an early 2007 model and was inspired by the FJ Cruiser concept Toyota had introduced three years ago. This all-new sport utility vehicle is designed with more power and agility yet it bears the intrinsic characteristics of the legendary FJ 40, the first 4Runner and 4x4compact pickups of Toyota. It offers no less than the toughest and most dynamic performance both on-road and off-road. Powering the 2007 FJ Cruiser is a 4-L V6 engine that delivers 245 horsepower. It is mated to either a five-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual transmission. It is based on a modified 4Runner platform and carries a host of features adopted from the original FJ 40, including the Toyota grille with Toyota logo badging, round Toyota headlights, upright windshield and white cap roof. The new FJ Cruiser however is more compact and is set on a wide track that enhances its stability and improves its stance. Noticeably new to this model are its two-part rear hatch with flip-up glass, black overfenders with Toyota mudguards, silver painted Toyota bumper extenders, Toyota mirrors, Toyota door handles, skid plate and 17-inch steel Toyota wheels. It comes with Star Safety System that includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and traction control (TRAC), anti-lock brake system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and brake assist. On the other hand, the new Toyota Yaris replaces the compact Toyota Echo. It is available in sedan and sporty S Sedan versions. It belongs to the second generation Yaris and come with new and wider platform compared to those of European Yaris. It features new integrated Toyota bumpers and Toyota headlights, steel or aluminum alloy Toyota wheels with tires pushed outward and full Toyota wheel covers. Like the FJ Cruiser, the new Yaris has a straightforward design yet its simplicity translates to so much practicality and versatility. Powering this subcompact is a small yet very fuel efficient and clean 1.5L engine with VVT that allows the Yaris to go 34 miles per gallon in the city and 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
