The parallels are pretty interesting:
modern day update of a previous model, without being "retro"
Traditional styling cues - triple wiper blades and the white roof (I believe the Blue body color has heritage too)tance.
well regarded handling (on road - MINI, off road - FJ)
color combinations that play tribute to the past (and show some similarities to each other).
Trendy (I hate to say it, but they are.
Basically, the FJ is kind of an off-road MINI.

I like the styling. If I HAD to get an SUV, this is where I would go.

I wouldn't use the term "mini" to describe the MINI either.

My wife wants the Traveller, and I think that I MIGHT be convinced to exchange my MC Cabrio for the Speedster Cabrio.

I agree, plus that interior is gaudy, and excessively country bumpkin.

The first time I saw the FJ Cruiser I thought they were playing off of the new mini styling, not only color combos, but the simple design and use of materials...

I like the moke one. Looks pretty cool and would make an awesome dune buggy, imo.
