Rental this week is a Camero SS with the Schwinn transmission. It’s fast. Interior is a mixed bag. Visibility is laughably horrible.

Just buy a new 4Runner, drive it for a few years until you get bored, sell it for almost the same. That's what I did
New 4 Runners are 50k that's 5k flushed down in taxes alone. I don't want to park that type of money in a vehicle.

FJ's are just expensive, less practical, clown looking versions of 4Runners. HARD PASS
Actually, they're kind of cool. Back seat is practically worthless though. I could never justify one.
How I feel about most fun cars that keep their value, i.e. S2000, Wrongler etc.
Just view it as a larger valued depreciating asset. You put more in to start, but lose less on the back end. It's really just all bout that difference. If I didn't dump a ton of money into the S2000, it would have been a great

I got a slant H... I think Elantra. Seems fine but I’m unimpressed. I’d rather a Shitvic.

FJ versus 4R isn’t an FJ a decent bit smaller outside? That is definitely an advantage.
FJ has an enormous amount of room for the front passengers at least. Back seat space is ok when you move the front up a bit. This isn’t some small car by any means.

Also far more unique, 4R is a dime a dozen mom car.
Ehhhhhhh, there are a few versions of the 4R that are quite burly, particularly the TRDBro, and an extremely robust aftermarket puts this thing head and shoulders above Brahhoe, Yukon and other crotchfruit transporters. Our Denver member's is a prime example of that

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.
