Yes some homage, but the sides of the original FJ did not squeeze in and look like a pinch cut off. This is a far better design imho. Nope not even started as it is still work time here, but so much of the front end I see already on the various Kia EV models. Nothing new in this.

The rear look is like someone was taking a dump and pinched the load. Terrible Angle and the front compared to the size of the wheels look like a box with after thought to how it would look with wheels. Agree to disagree on the style, terrible. Even their off-road edition with snorkel barely looks better imho. The solar panel on top while cool also looks a bit disconnected from this ICE SUV.

WOW, Could you make an Auto any uglier, the world premier of the all new Toyota FJ cruiser shows just how terrible their style has become. New Land Cruiser "FJ" Makes World Premiere | Toyota | Global Newsroom | Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website Toyota seems to really be ripping off the Koreans now as the all new Corolla in ICE, Hybrid and Pure EV is almost a clone of the Kia EV4. Japan Mobility Show 2025 TOYOTA / DAIHATSU Press Briefing | Toyota | Global Newsroom | Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website Toyota Century which is their Uber luxury line and was exclusive to Japan is becoming a 3 auto family for Global Sales. You can see the decades old Century sedans in the background and in the foreground they have the all new SUV, 2 door coupe and the Executive 4 door stretch sedan.

Some cool looking products.

At this point, LA Auto show will be interesting as the Korean Trio is saying that many markets will get the Low end 3 to 9 complete family series of EVs except the U.S. where they are delayed indefinitely due to the Tariffs, so I would not trust any of the actual websites at this point as yes they were correct when everyone was saying it is coming back at the start of this year, but now Tariff Turd47 has killed off what companies are willing to ship into the U.S. I would not be surprised that the EV3, 4 do not make it into the U.S. till after 2028 while everyone else gets it now. Hyundai Motor Group Announces NVIDIA Blackwell AI Factory to Power Fleet of AI-Driven Mobility Solutions - Hyundai Newsroom Seems nVidia is getting into AI bed with Everyone.

Here the world is talking about how great the Kia EV3 is as a cheap wonderful auto and it gets World Car of the Year award, but due to Tariff Turd47 who is making the U.S. irrelevant to the world now, we no longer get the best technology, but Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world does. https://insideevs.com/news/757076/kia-ev3-world-car-of-the-year/

Sad, More BS Delayed products due to Idiot47 Tariff war that gains America NOTHING! Affordable Kia EV4 Sedan 'Delayed Until Further Notice' In The U.S. Hyundai showed off a cool Ioniq 9 Off-Road concept at SEMA which has been stated to be near production ready, but I doubt the U.S. will see it. Probably Canada and Mexico will get the newest EV tech over America Stupidity. Hyundai Set to Go BigTime with IONIQ 9 Off-Road SUV Concept at 2025 SEMA Show - Hyundai Newsroom

WOW, Ford is leading the world in recalls due to safety issues. Ford’s ‘Snowflake’ Recall Proves Even Its Glass Can’t Handle Criticism Then we also have this one too for parts flying off Fords. Ford Recalls Another 175,000 Trucks And SUVs For Parts That Could Fly Off While Driving Why would anyone want to buy such a problem product. Trucks, SUVs, Vans, from entry level to high end, Ford is recalling everything lately. Interesting the reaction to Waymo coming to Seattle and yet these drivers are clueless to their own failures in the service and quality to their rides. 'Hell no, Waymo': Seattle rideshare drivers, union advocates rally against driverless taxi service | king5.com Top 1% need to pay fair tax, end of story!!! Amazing how much better America would be if they paid their fair share. I Asked ChatGPT What Would Happen If Billionaires Paid Taxes at the Same Rate as the Working Class Just saw this update on the Beef War Idiot47 has started by bailing out his billionaire friends who started farms that are failing in Argentina by buying their beef for the U.S. market. Problem is that they have Hoof and Mouth disease that we do not want here in the U.S. Even ranchers here are now regretting their choice in Idiot47 and his MAGA first approach. Yet with that, we are at beef prices not seen since the 1980's. NOT GOOD! Farm-state Republicans finally reach their breaking point

Amazing how Corrupt Idiot47 fascist regime has become and is getting worse. Accountability is lacking in all aspects of the Idiot47 family. Anger as Trump family acquires a new racket

Solid true point, the bible does not teach many of the things that humans use it to do to other humans.

Totally agree with what Rivian is doing, they have to watch their costs as the scale the low end EVs. This is the severance package Rivian is offering to more than 600 employees who were laid off

@oldshurst442 Idiot47 just became plan Stupid47. Trump instructs Pentagon to 'immediately' start testing US nuclear weapons

Let's put some reality behind this, 1) I cannot prove to you that Religion if Fake 2) You cannot prove to me that Religion is Real 3) You can agree or not, but Religion when you study history for thousands of years has been used to manipulate and control populations. As far as anyone knows, much like Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) - IMDb where the movie starts off with the crew on a planet that is about to be destroyed by a volcano and the ignorant life forms are worshiping a book, much like a bible, they are saved by Spock and the Enterprise takes off and leaves, the local life forms that look like humans stop worshiping the bible and worship the Enterprise. For all we know, 3,000 years ago an intelligent life form came to this planet, and we were still groveling in the dirt and saw them as Gods, Jehovah, Yahweh, God, Allah, name it what you will but religion has been used to direct / control humanity. Religion does bring some good things to society for those that need the guidance of good versus evil, right versus wrong. Purpose, etc. Not all people can enlighten themselves through education and deductive reasoning to come to conclusions about various topics and as such need the guidance that organized religion brings. Sadly, there are those that are unhinged and tends to go off rails. I grew up in a very religious family and my parents planned for me to become an elder. Part of becoming an elder is deep, deep study of the history, bible, events, etc. and as such after 5 years, I came to my own conclusion that God does not exist to me, but there could be other life forms that are higher educated and more advanced than humanity and as such, for those that need religion, it is there good or bad, it is there for those that need something of this type of organization. Wishing you and everyone a goodnight.

Did my part today in filling out my voter's card for the elections next week and dropped them off along with my wife's ballot at the ballot box. We vote on who is the best candidate not the party for the role that is up for election. One of the biggest problems here in the U.S. is that both corrupt parties have moved in most states to ban the ability to state what party you really are or Independent which my wife and I are. You are forced to choose Red or Blue and that to me is a large problem of the political issues as I think there are far more independents than either party is willing to acknowledge. I really wish we could figure out how to get an Independent President candidate on all states ballots as it is time to smack both parties where it hurts and leave them with no majority, but a required must work with the Independents to achieve anything or look like the losers they are.

Since I can work from home, have not been in Seattle the last week and not planning to for the rest of the year. I have not seen any pictures of Seattle ICE Building on the news or posted online in social media, so I can only pull the Portland one that currently looks like this. Previously looked like this. Now they have added the fencing with barb wire. Local news is doing a good job of how terrible ICE has become here in the PNW. If you take a look at history, you can see that the ball room, the Trump Arch are right out of Hitlers playbook along with everything else he is doing and all these ICE Lemmings are saying they are just doing their job ignoring that they swore an oath to the Constitution and laws of this country, not to a narcissistic Idiot that 47 is.

Reminds me of the mid 80's Monte Carlo Areo SS that I loved. Would love to have one as a project auto, but doubt I ever will as I would want it electrified. Moved into that next phase of life around grand kids. no time.

TPM 2.0 is grossly overrated imho. I see no reason to not stay on Windows 10 for a while longer and if MSFT does something to hinder 10, then I will probably install one of the Linux options.

@A Horse With No Name @Robert Hall @oldshurst442 Agree, national scale, the country leadership is over due to the Russian Asset Puppet the Zombie Boomers put in office trying to live in the past. Locally, I love living in Washington State, Mild Winters, but 1-2 hrs to drive up and enjoy winter sports. Parks, trails, biking, so much to do and see, love it here. Not to mention the wine, beer and food scene here.

I have a neighbor here that has a 5-year-old Mercedes and it has rust spots and moss all over since she never washes it, I suspect the rust is from clogged drains since she leaves it outside year-round by pine trees. Some just never learn how to take care of an auto. Agree, I see inaction all the time with social media posts of people recording ICE doing illegal things and no one walking up demanding accountability. ICE has started to do this Nazi BS here in Issaquah, I told my wife to carry her passport as she cares for our newest grandson and takes him all over, will help with proving she is a U.S. citizen, Korean by birth. I also told her to call me if anything like this happens. I will not tolerate this Nazi BS.

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one home, it seemed obvious that someone was at home, he knocked but no one answered, even after repeated knocks. He took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of the card and stuck it to the door. At the next service when he reviewed the offering, he found his card had been returned in the basket. A cryptic message under his "Revelation 3:20" was "Genesis 3:10". Reaching for his bible to check the citation, he broke out laughing. Revelations 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock" Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid for I was naked." Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones? Pass it on!

WOW, If this was Biden the GOP would have raged, but no it is Idiot47 looking confused and having to be directed around the room. Forbes published the whole almost 8 min and wow is Idiot47 confused.

Talk about a lying POS Idiot47 is trying to actually think we would believe he was opposed to ICE raids in Georgia on the Hyundai / LG battery plant. Hyundai hoped to return skilled South Korean workers to the US after the ICE raid. Trump just opened the door | CNN Business https://share.google/MftbblNnEZquyJcU7

WOW, Lots of stories on changing OS if you do not want to run your old windows OS on your functional hardware. Goodbye, Windows: These alternatives make switching from Microsoft easy

Yale Economist says that the $300 Million Musk spent to buy him a spot next to Idiot47 cost him millions of EV sales. Elon Musk's cringe-posting addiction cost Tesla over one million car sales
