Toyota FJ Cruiser on the Chopping Block

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a hardcore SUV which had appeared on the world market in 2006 as a 2007 model.

At the time it was considered the Japanese Hummer.

Although not confirmed by the manufacturer, it appears that the vehicle will not be continuing production.

According to information gathered on the Web, all signs point towards the end of production at the Japanese juggernaut factory in Hamura, sometime in 2014.

That decision makes perfect sense if we take into account that sales have fallen steadily over the last three years on a global scale.

Today, the FJ Cruiser is considered a dinosaur of the automotive industry, all but abandoned by Toyota which has failed to adapt the model to new environmental considerations prevalent in the automotive sector.
