Yeah 'cause Toyota know how to build a car. I must admit I do find it amusing to see them winning Nascar

We drive a Prius and a Hilux, both good cars.

Spring for the new hybrid or is that too liberal for you?

I've got a 15 year old 4Runner which is basically the same chassis as the Hilux. The truck runs like the day we picked it up.

We would have gotten the hybrid but we needed all wheel drive and the hybrid doesn't come with AWD. But we did get the fusion because it was the most fuel efficient AWd we could find in our price range.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

great vehicles. my brother had one for 11 years, damned thing wouldn't stop running. he ultimately traded it in just because he was tired of looking at it.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

I was very happy with mine, but I was tired of the manual transmission and the turbocharged engine was a gas-guzzler (Forester). I changed for an Impreza, regular engine.
