Jonny it doesn't matter. This country is so in love with Toyota that they could dump a million tons of crude oil into our waterways a year and people would still flock to their showrooms because it's the 'trendy' thing to do.

As long as our media is in love with them....they can weather any storm.

I agree with you 100%!I just think it's funny how this stuff never gets reported in main stream media.

I just love when people buy a new car to save on gas money. Hello, you are not going to save in gas money what it cost you in car payments.

Good article.

I've seen this article (or similar) a couple times. One of my 'Yota driving friends sent this to me.

http://www.thecarconnection.com/Auto...96.A12220.html

I would still put my wife and kids in a Hummer rather than giving myself "pat myself on the back" points for saving a couple bucks at the gas station and giving the impression that I'm enlightened enough to care more about the environment that others do. Watch the "Smug" episode on South Park...pretty accurate commentary on the issue.

BALANCE.....

It may seem akward, but that show is usually correct on the majority of the issues it pokes fun at. The "Smug" craze, as SP calls it, is just that, a craze and a fashion.
