You are sooooo getting one of these decals for the ST. Even if I have to sneak into the barn at night to do it.

What's your beef with Toyota?
It's not... however life will be considerably more exciting with the extra $3,000 in my pocket that I don't spend on the Toyota.

What's your beef with Toyota?
Look up some of my posts then.... I harp on VW/Audi all the time due to prior experiences with them. My complaints about BMW's actual cars are minimal, I just find them to be stylistically unremarkable. The only BMW that catches my fancy is the 7-series. My real beef with BMW is that the badges are worth more than the cars themselves. Jeremy Clarkson has a really good quote in the segment where he compares the Vauxhaul VXR8 and the 5-er. He points to the BMW badge on the hood and says "This right here is worth 30,000£"... because he finds the Vauxhaul and the 5-er to be sooo close in everything else. If GM threw a BMW badge on a CTS they'd be able to sell for 25% more. After the 300c, Chrysler really took some big steps backwards in design.

What's your beef with Toyota?
So what? You're in So.Cal.... even the bums there drive rusted out BMWs. I see A-body Cierras and Centurys all the time. It seems most of the Celebrities and 6000s have gone to the great junkyard in the sky. I'd say it's a 30/70 garaged/ghetto ratio on the A-bodies I see. The nice ones are very very nice. The ghetto ones range from "well used" to "rolling environmental hazard". Cierras seem to have a better survival rate and are usually puttering along at 10 mph under the speed limit with Edgar or Mable Bluehair behind the wheel. Camries and Cressidas pre '92 are basically non-existent. So much so that Dominic and I found it remarkable to see a Cressida on the road last week and even admired the good condition it was in. The older Toyotas simply could not survive the winters in Pittsburgh. The 1992 and above body style seems to be their turning point. The A-bodies, many being ghetto, are still... unfortunately... on the road.

Because that would have been so different than all the other ads with cars driving around mountain roads or down long stretches of empty road......

March 2008 Sales: General Motors
This is a feature GM needs to consider adding to more cars. It is unique in the market... I think. No other car has it right?

What's your beef with Toyota?
My beef with Toyota mostly involves them not being as great as their reputation makes them out to be. How many Toyota Cressidas do you still see milling around? How many Cutlass Cierras... or Buick Centurys of the same vintage do you see? I bet the number of of ~1985 vintage Cressidas + Camrys still running is less than the number of Cutlass Cierras alone.... much less the entire A-body lineup.

You. are. an. IDIOT. The selection of surround sound CDs is minimal. You might as well be demanding that GM install a Mini-Disc player in the dash.
