Every brand is more or less hypocritical when it comes to being green. It's just that Toyota has gotten one hell of a free pass because George Clooney and Al Gore drive Prius'. At the Toyota display at the auto show in my parts, the Prius was conveniently situated on the opposite side of the big Tundra display, and it was being ogled by plenty of people. Meanwhile, the Jetta diesel which was next door was sitting all by itself. (Of course, GM did something similar when showing off the hybrid Aura.) I had some fun at the Toyota display with the Prius when the rep saw me inside it, and she mentioned that this "is the greenest, and most fuel efficient sedan in North America." "That's all well and good Ma'am, but I want that bad-ass with the V8 on the display past the Avalon"

Interesting. He might just be pissed off enough at Rick Wagoner and Bob Lutz and the rest of GM to set Chrysler straight. However, I'd much prefer to see Frank Stronach and Magna head Chrysler, but I don't think Magna's Stronach will be able to pay the full price for Chrysler. If he did it with a partner, he'd likely have less influence than he would like, and Frank Stronach likes total control.

Perhaps it was just somebody on the Google-tube who was musing, but I heard something about how GM was looking at a unibody truck, something to compete against the Ridgeline, and other possible contenders.

Ownage?...

Those switches look like they'd be fun to use. I have to hand it to Toyota, they can make some pretty cool switches and knickknacks. Like the Rav4: I spent about 5 minutes just using the button thinger to open the top glovebox.

Here's the thing, though. If we were to send them our trucks, what could we send them? The Colorado?! I doubt Sierra's and Silverado's would be viable because the price of fuel out there is effing expensive compared to ours, and I understand that they have taxes on the number of cylinders.

I'll have to see it up close. It is different, and I'm happy Ford took a chance on its styling. But people these days are bland and boring. I see too many grey Toyota Highlander's on the road and too few red Dodge Magnum's. This could look too bold for families.

Funny. It seems the American negotiators forgot about a major plank of their economy when hammering out this agreement. I wish they forgot as easily about their economy when it came to dealing with MY country.

The Beat looks like a Pokemon, and the Groove is a Scion rip-off. I think they suck, but they are necessary for GM. So I am for them.

Consider vacationing in Canada!

And this not from 'The Onion'?! Holy Sh*t...

gmail ftw.

It's near impossible to get blander than an LS. The LS makes you comatose. The Hyundai at least just makes you lethargic.

YellowDart is right. Women do shop between some very different classes. How old is your aunt? The G35 is a very nice car, BUT, it only has a trunk. If your aunt wants practicality, the xB is what she wants. Plus, the xB will have better fuel efficiency. It's also good if she gets the xB because it will furthur reinforce the idea that Scions are for old people, and not youthful, rock-climing, kayaking, skateboarding, mountain biking, wind surfing, youngsters. Instead, it'll be vehicle of choice to carpool to bingo Wednesdays!

Well, the Euro's would likely snub their noses at a Opel built in Delaware. Hell, their auto rags would spin it as a Saturn rebadged as an Opel. They're European... what can you do?

'Big Gay Al' is every straight dudes favorite gay guy.

Toyota had better start getting used to the tone of this article, because they'll be reading a lot of similar articles when they become #1.

Weird. When I looked at that Wikipedia article, it said that the diesel engine got recalled due to explosions in the flux capacitor, and at the bottom of the article someone typed in, 'c4Yr$l3r i$ t3h n00bz0r...

Not big on the wheels, but other than that small detail, this truck is :sign0200:

DuPont pwns those 'tards at 3M.

You know... this would have been almost believable if only the spelling were correct. Don't get me started on the grammar. sp33113nG c43k 4 t3h w1nz0r!

I do too. But not for that insane price.
