It´s just a concept, the production car will have manual as an option, and some other engines..
A Toyota FJ cruiser is…. One of the f-ugliest vehicles on the road today. You can keep them, the six speed manual transmission and the 16mpg combined fuel economy rating it gets.
The vehicles are not even in the same class.
