A Unique New Car That Stands Out From the Crowd

Several years ago, car shoppers primarily concentrated their purchases on typical sedans, minivans and SUVs, as well as the occasional sports car. But in the last few years, a growing number of buyers are choosing niche cars not easily defined in any one traditional automotive segment. We've listed some of the top unique new cars that fill a special niche on the market for buyers looking to stand out from the crowd.

Toyota FJ Cruiser

Toyota's brawny FJ Cruiser isn't a traditional SUV in any sense, but that hasn't stopped buyers from showing a healthy devotion to the tough truck. Its reasonable starting price of around $27,000 including destination certainly helps sales, especially considering the FJ Cruiser boasts a powerful 260-hp 4.0-liter V6 and a long list of equipment. But we think most buyers like the FJ Cruiser for its bold, jungle-tackling styling and immense off-road prowess--two features uncommon on many of today's SUVs. And despite the FJ's popularity, the SUV will still stand out in a parking lot, especially in its eye-catching Army Green or Magma exterior finishes.
