[Paul Pless]

what about my michigan redneck friends?
and arizona redneck friends?

[Paul Pless]

and my detroit american auto worker freinds?

[Edward Pearson]

Just looked at Toyotas UK website.

10 year warranty!

Hopefully the new car is not black with a black interior.

I've yet to ever see Cayanne with mud on it. I would rather have the new Bronco Raptor

I have seen a couple of these with much more mud on them than in this photo. But then the company that builds them is in Atlanta.

[Joe (SoCal)]

Where I live in SoCal they usually look like this



Usually driven by 22 year old Paris Hilton barbie doll wannabes with bolt on boobs and lip filler

You are lucky to find that. 99% of the cars on the dealer lots here in Vermont have black interiors.
Fine in the winter, but hotter than hell in the summer.

fuel mileage, price, toyota service and reliability, color, its available
not looking for a performance or long distance vehicle in any way
and the fact that a dog crate will fit in the back
this will be for commuting to my dog training clients throughout the phoenix area - i drive approximately 150 miles three days per week
the other vehicle i am considering is a prius - almost twice the retail price to gain 17 mpg
kat and i have a full size suv and full size 1/2 ton truck as daily weekly drivers
i hates feeding them

I've driven one, both the straight version and the hybrid. Liked both a lot.
I dont much care for the styling, but to drive they were very good.
Partner ended up getting a Yaris hybrid.
I'll probably get a RAV4 Hybrid when the time comes in a year or so. I need the towing ability.

My wife's RAV4 is the perfect tool for the job, but my '92 Miata makes me smile every time I drive it. Most cars today are automotive appliances.

[Figment]

A guy in the office next door has super-clean corolla (hatchback) with the stance dropped down just the littlest bit below stock. Still totally practical real world driveable height, but TIGHT. I do kinda drool a bit when I walk the dog past it.

[P.I. Stazzer-Newt]

So, what happened on the test drive?
Good, bad, ugly or meh?

[Canoez]

Hopefully the new car is not black with a black interior.

Pet peeve - lots of dark interiors.

This explains why he didn't answer his phone . . .
Just as long as he doesn't try to blame me for the first scratch.

[Jack Loudon]

they are soulless

i will buy something fun again later

you were saying?

[Figment]

Twisty asphalt in the AZ sun should melt those POS oem tires right off and get you into some good rubber sooner

[David G]

Yes, this.

CONGRATS!!!

[bluedog225]

The white and the window tint will be a blessing.

[LeeG]

I think Paul is happy.

[Katherine]

Oh hell yes!

[Katherine]

I think Paul is happy.

He is and I'm glad. It's a fun, zippy little car that gets great mileage.

[George Jung]

Query - you chose the manual for 'zip' or for fun? Both? curious how the experience compares with auto.

[Paul Pless]

i wanted the manual but it was a customer car
what i got was an cvt
it has a mechanical first gear followed by cvt from there up
of course it has sport and manual shift modes and a hold in gear button on the shifter
i bought it as a purely economical utilitarian car but its surprisingly fun

Paul has a type. The actress who hypes Toyotas looks a lot like you.

Do dark tinted windows block the heat or absorb it?
Too bad they don't allow a reflective coating for auto glass, but a freeway in the glaring sun would be brutal to look at, like strobe lights.

I guess block and absorb. But it keeps the solar gain off the seats. Crack the windows and it’s not bad.

It's always nice when you get more than you expected from a purchase.

I recall a honorable Jennifer Connelly mention from Paul "Top Gun" Pless too.
