um, no. you're wrong, the pricing is fine. its in line with all the competition. the malibu will outdrive the camry. the new accord will not sell at the prices chevy wants, it will be higher, much higher. it gives them some room to discount the bu at the dealer. plus, how many camrys you see at the base price? UM, not many. sure is great for a price leader ad maybe.

toyota should not be sponsoring an American team. simple as that. no one said global economy in its current form was the best solution either.....just like i don't buy global warming

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/cc/03-07accord.htm kind of a rip fest........

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20393673/site/newsweek/ .it's true.....everything about the United States is for sale........ I don't know about you guys, but this makes my AMERICAN blood boil Let toyota spend the billion and suffer the backlash, i say...if there is one. this could end up being their billion dollar mistake in this country......the moment where their own arrogance may push them too far. by the way, does ANYONE give a rip about the olympics anymore?

here's the deal, i read on another site soemone says the wagon is at least 2 years away in AU. complete and total crap if you ask me....it was explained as spacing out the new products over a period of time to maintain interest in the model line. what if i want the car NOW? that is the bull$h! that continually afflicts GM. If an AWD g8 wagon is not available when my lease is up next fall and GM card is burning a hole in my pocket, then f-ck you, GM. Ford or someone else will get my business. I honestly would even consider the ute if I didn't need a back seat for the kid.

medical will be like retail 20 years ago when they moved away from full time decetly paid smart people. you use to get knowledgible sales consultants, now its part time zit faced kids. poor service and i would bet costs will even go up. i would imagine 10 years from now, getting to see a real doctor will be near impossible and 4x as expensive. yes, most of my recent doctor visits the last few years have been PA's

^^

i've always like the stream. this one's alright. not a fan of the new one's dash. here's the deal....the original odyssey never sold here...so i wonder if this one will be a market dud too. honda's got another CUV type rig that looks like an aztek/x5 mating accident and they sell it in europe. that might be alright vehicle here too. maybe honda thinks the stream will be profitable in niche quantities here. if so, then what the heck.

UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED typical Asian engineering. 'optimize' the body or structure for light weight. that equals no safety factor. Or in this case, no correct assumption of what sort of forces were required in the design. In other words, they never in their wildest dreams anticipated how hard people use trucks like this. There have been body deformation issues between the bed and cab with honda's Ridgeline as well. Basically it comes down to this. toyota or Honda has no history of designing vehicles for sever duty, and even if they could leave their engineering mindsets for a moment to indentify the criteria needed for it to pass severe duty, their desire to overoptimize and squeeze too much out of the design in terms of dollars saved or just pure love of cutting engineering to the bone means their products are going to do this. Meanwhile, you would NEVER expect a Jeep or Hummer or Suburban to fail you in this way. I have never heard of anyone saying how their Jeep has failed structurally in brutal driving. I've never heard of a Ford or Chevy truck coming apart at the seams like this. The general population needs to know about this. You would have to be an absolute fool to buy any sort of Toyota truck at any amount after hearing about the Turd camshafts and now this. Odd, but I haven't heard of any structural issues with the Frontier, Titan, etc. At least Nissan appears to have it figured out.

r8 is sweet, i give them that. new TT is horribly feminine.

gauges too

no, the interior is responsible for my costco comment. it just does not look up to par, regardless of features.

if the A3 is so friggin great why did they only sell 8000 of them in a year A3 = "that's a nice rabbit you have there, Dieter"

'but it runs forever'

man, it cracks me up to even say that......

I blame the unions, walmart, china, and of course TOYOTA!!!!!!!

the higer you rise the harder the fall

yup, i see that. then the steering wheel looks like 2 legs and a vag ina .....of a really large girl. that time you spent checking out the lowlander is 30 minutes of your life you will never get back.

point being, the fact that that exists at all doesn't make you question the reliability? "Hi, I just dropped 35g on a new truck that has a documented chance of destroying its own engine." Considering the lack of care given to the engine, I'd be damm worried about the rest of the truck, tranny, 4wd system, suspension, wiring, safety and airbags, rustproofing. There was a last gen camry in front of me at McNDons the other day. RUST ON THE TRUNKLID around the lic plate trim. Not a little, A LOT. in MN you are used to seeing rust on cars fairly quickly, but this was a VERY new camry.....Couldn't have been more than 5 years old. Not even gross neglect for washing would have justified the amount of rust on that tinfoil trunk lid.

look jimmy, here's a prep sink in a restaurant kitchen!!!!!!!

that might be true. BMW has been farting in an electrical room lately with their designs too. I used to think it was the Japanese that are unoriginal and dull. But the Germans sure are making a case for the exact same thing.

alpha and zeta models..... g8 sedan g8 wagon gto gto convertible (mebbe) alpha sedan alpha coupe and or hatch fwd g6 sedan and coupe for brand entry and fwd buyers, but tune them for best performance no vibe.... solstice and solstice coupe i would consider a sports crossover like an amped up cx-7. and that's about it. the alpha and zeta cars and solstice provide the brand image. the g6 fwd rounds out the volume and makes it accessible for brand entry and some mainstream volume. i.e younger buyers with not a lot to spend.
