At least they're not calling it Land Cruiser Sport.

Mini should complain as Mini is registered trademark.

And Land Rover used Sport on Discovery long before Bronco

This may be a home run in sales based on price point, size and Toyota reliability.

There is also a following of the Suzuki Jimny that this may appeal to in U.S. markets.

I’m all for options. It makes competition sharper.

Very cool.

BoF and ICE are a plus. Would rather see it in a 2-dr. Squeezing the 4-drs on an already compact size makes the rear doors useless. Mid-30's MSRP?

Besides the small Suzuki Jimny rabid fanbase, there is also a rabid fanbase for the small Mitsubishi Pajero in the US that this will appeal to.

Oooh, that's going to hurt someone with feelings. Glad I don't have any.

I like the idea of a smaller, still capable vehicle. However, not a fan of the look of this one.

I was thinking it looked more like this. Both butt ugly though.
