Those new fj's are great
They have 3 wipers that is the best part
The convertible is a good idea too

I seen a article on speed channel about that thing its really got some cool stuff to it.

It is a 4 door but the rear door handles are joined into the front door handles so it only looks like it is a 2 door but if you look at the door handle real close you can see the split for the front and rear doors.

It was built by a custom shop in cali for Toyota with a build us something cool for sema so he grafted a 4runner rear section to the front of the FJ and did some really cool wash and go interior work as well.

All the trim , roof rack , bumper trim , sliders and rims are a special designed bullet aluminum he did on his cnc just for this thing.

I believe he said this one is a 6 speed the rear door swings open to the drivers side like an old delivery sedan.

AND THE BEST PART TOYOTA MAY BUILD IT THEY WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH IT

If Toyota actually build the Runner FJ I would be impressed and very surprised but odds are it won't become a reality.

See i was thinking the same , but I think why it could be a possibility is simply because of the name. I know it sounds dumb, but FJ Runner, or even FJ-4 seems to kinda work as a hyrid of the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser. So not even considering the appearence or the offroad prowess, the name itself sells the vehicle....
