August 11, 200521 yr I am aware of the fact that I'm a huge loser for making a collage, but yeah...I love my car
August 11, 200521 yr Its a hybrid right? 898004[/snapback] No, just a Toyota. That is a very nice car though. The price is well under 13k and it is loaded. Nice car choice!
August 11, 200521 yr Author How's visibility out the back window for you? 898080[/snapback] pretty good, when i have no one in the car i usually put the back seats down to make it a bit easier, but even with 3 people in the back, its pretty decent visibility. And to the other question earlier: its not a hybrid, but it gets 31/38 mpg.
August 11, 200521 yr There's a gal at work that just got a new one as well. Very smart looking car. Congrats.
August 11, 200521 yr Congrats on the new car. I have no problem with the xB. I think it looks kinda cool in a funky sorta way.
August 11, 200521 yr Congrats on the new car. I despise Japanese cars (Buy American!) but I know how good it feels buying a new car. Hope you enjoy it
August 11, 200521 yr Fort Myers Toyota has been selling Scions like hotcakes. All 3 models are really popular at school.
August 11, 200521 yr Congrats on the new car. I despise Japanese cars (Buy American!) but I know how good it feels buying a new car. Hope you enjoy it 898625[/snapback] You have no idea how many "Japanese" cars are built in America and how many "American" cars are built abroad do you?
August 11, 200521 yr Congrats on the new car.? I despise Japanese cars (Buy American!) but I know how good it feels buying a new car.? Hope you enjoy it 898625[/snapback] You have no idea how many "Japanese" cars are built in America and how many "American" cars are built abroad do you? 898848[/snapback] Case in point... Our current minivan is a 2003 Honda Odyssey built in Alabama. It replaced a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager built in Canada.

Do you think Mercedes building a factory in South Carolina helps less than a Ford factory in Ontario?

Do you think Mercedes building a factory in South Carolina helps less than a Ford factory in Ontario? 899554[/snapback] The reason the foreign car companies manufacture in US is to avoid paying taxes on importing the car into the country, flagrantly avoiding paying uncle sam whereas American cars are taxed up the ass in foreign countries, thus pricing them out of foreign consumers price range. I'll support American car companies any day of the week.

That said, the Ford Focus is one of the top selling cars in England and GM and Ford offer regional brands like Vauxhall, Rover, etc. to avoid paying those huge taxes.
August 12, 200521 yr yep I hate the blind "buy american" philosophy 899806[/snapback] Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous and goes against free market principles.
August 13, 200521 yr a bit feminine for a car, but not bad. and the only thing i like domestically is trucks and the mustang, but thats only cause i have always liked the mustang. the only 'foreign' truck in the same class as domestics are toyotas.
