Toyota FJ Cruiser 
With the playful appeal of a giant toy, this SUV rolled onto the Canadian market in 2007, and few changes have been made to it since. It’s propelled by a 4.0L V6 that produces 260 horsepower and 271 lbs.-ft. of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission is available, as is a 5-speed automatic. The FJ Cruiser was inspired by the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, which launched in the 1960s and remained in production for two decades.
