The FJ is an interesting vehicle, but not for me, not because it is Japanese, but I think it is downright ugly; especially the interior.
The point of more dealers versus Hummer is a good point. One other point is that when the H3 launched, GM marketing called for 25K a year; roughly 2100 per month. The sales surprised everyone, so production was booted up for the H3 and this was not a problem for the line since Colorado/Canyon weren't doing so hot. Big problem was parts. Suppliers were scheduled per the original estimate, they in turn had to boost production.

In my humble opinion, the big competitor for the H3 is coming next year, in the form of a 4-door Wrangler.
