Interesting. I would put the FJ into the same class as a Wrangler in that the target market is looking for the same vehicle attributes, which ultimately are the ability to go anywhere/off-road.
The Wrangler is doing well, the FJ is being discontinued, and the only other vehicle I see with similar capability is the Benz G-Wagon.
I’d like to see such a vehicle myself from Chevy, since I believe it needs to compete with all mainstream models and makes… but this one is a tough one, since the entire market is pretty much dominated by one manufacturer (Jeep) and the Wrangler has a cult-like following around it. Or did I forget another vehicle in the same/similar category?
