    Aside from the looks of it, I am more curious about powertrain than anything?

    I saw something that said they had moved to a direct injection engine but has this been confirmed? Any HP increase? I mean they had to do SOMETHING to make you want to purchase it over the 2013 other than adding a stitch or two to the seats..

    Absolutely not.
    It didn't even get the dual-VVTi from the FJ.

    The whole direct injection thing has never been anything more than wishful thinking and some "magazine" sites (that are really nothing more than blogs with no basis in reality) picked up on. They kept repeating it louder and more often, and they eventually believed their own bullshit.

    Couple of different color options, the "Limited" and "SR" packages, but no changes under the hood or to the sheetmetal.

    There's another question besides was there anything new added.

    Was there anything old discontinued?

    Stuff like bench seats, hand crank windows, manual door locks, non electronic keys, and stick shift transmissions.
