I never had second thoughts that the Toyota FJ Cruiser will be crowned as the best SUV for this year! According to the votes and survey conducted by ReviewCars.com, the FJ Cruiser is the apple of the eye to almost all car enthusiasts and buyers. And there’s no doubt about that! How I wish my vehicle had the same car parts as the FJ Cruiser. But I still love my Nissan car with its cool Nissan bumper and Nissan steering racks. So here’s the stuff you can get from ReviewCars.com’s SUV of the year 2007!
