Toyota has unveiled its new Toyota Land Cruiser Fj, a compact off-road vehicle capable of tackling even the most demanding off-road terrain. Its European launch was highly uncertain due to current anti-pollution regulations, further confirming the absurdity of these regulations. Originally launched as the Toyota “Bj” in 1951, the “Land Cruiser” immediately demonstrated its off-road capabilities by reaching the sixth station of Mount Fuji in Japan, the final stage of a steep and challenging route that could only be continued on foot, overcoming numerous difficulties.
