Autoweek reviews the FJ Cruiser
Some consider Autoweek the most authoritative US magazine, better than Car and Driver or Road & Track. God knows why. Consider this one paragraph from the review where every sentence is factually incorrect:
"While few will expect the FJ to match the off-road prowess of vehicles called Jeep or Land Rover, we were nonetheless impressed with how ably the FJ’s four-wheel independent suspension—double-wishbone up front and four-link in back—handled the trail. Of course, props go to its automatic locking differential and traction and stability control systems for helping get us through as well. All FJs, including rear-drive models, have available locking rear differentials."
Full article here, pretty pictures though
