Everyone complaining about how we are not supporting america with foreign vehicles, think a minute. Almost everything you purchase is not made in america. All of your technologies, clothes, and even some food. Just get over it. America has a powerful economy and everytihing has worked for years. So you are saying you would never own a BMW, or any other sports car other than a select few? Picking which car to drive because it doesnt support america is pretty retarded. I drive what I want to drive, and I will be damned if someone wants to tell me otherwise. Toyotas are great cars, I have a sequia now. I am thinking of trading it in on the lexus crossover hybrid thing, or just waiting till the 09 sequias come out.

You expeceted a corolla to have power? If you buy the cheapest car of any make possible, dont expect it to win any races.

My wife has a FJCruiser and is not a bad little car. Sharx loved it so much he offered bruce...seriously it is peppy, and she has put around 25,000 on it in 10 months. but we both prefer my truck for confort and power. of course not a fair comparison but toyota is not bad. however for the diesel market, I will stick with cummins or cat. period.

Yeah, that has to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen, who the hell do they have designing these things anyways? At least with Ford, Chevy, and Dodge they have people with first hand experience with big trucks. How do those jap designers know what an American working man wants? Notice the speedo only goes to 85 mph too? And I cant believe that they would ever pass on a Cat engine for a Hino, if they used the cat they actually might be a competitor to the Dodge.

If they went with the cat that might catch my attention. I almost even like the look of it but if it wasn't for the wheels and grille guard it wouldn't be as sharp. But I still like to make fun of it.. I am really looking forward to seeing the new ram we are hearing about.

heres my 2 cents. I buy what is worth the money period!!! I work hard for my money as I'm sure you all do. why in the hell would I buy something just because it carries a american name. like squirtbottle and wishman I'm all about quality for MY MONEY. theres other ways to be and feel patriotic people. I hate dodge they buld an inferior POS PERIOD. thats not an opinion, thats a fact. whenstandard& poors puts out a consumer survey that lets all the auto manufactures know where they stand and dodge is not doing so good, thats fact people, not opinion! when cosumer reports rate dodge vehicles poorly again fact, not opinoin. when they don't hold there resale value. again fact not opinion. like I said I work hard for my money, I buy what I feel is the best I can get. those of you who buy dodge or any other american brand just to feel patriotic, well all the power to Ya. if it makes you feel better knock yourself out. I bought dodge because I feel the cummins is a dam good desiel engine. put the cummins in any othe BRAND. and I would serously consider buying them. anyway thats my 2 cents worth.

Here is another fact, I saved $8000 by buying my truck instead of a Ford or Chevy. For that money I saved i can fix a few little things on the truck.
