- Lorenzo I just noticed the 1954 Ford Customline V8 has the same exterior dimensions, but better legroom, shoulder room, hip room, a V8 engine, and a trunk lid. It sold, with Fordomatic, for $21,500, inflation adjusted.
- Lorenzo They won't be sold just in Beverly Hills - there's a Nieman-Marcus in nearly every big city. When they're finally junked, the transfer case will be first to be salvaged, since it'll be unused.
- Ltcmgm78 Just what we need to do: add more EVs that require a charging station! We own a Volt. We charge at home. We bought the Volt off-lease. We're retired and can do all our daily errands without burning any gasoline. For us this works, but we no longer have a work commute.
- Michael S6 Given the choice between the Hornet R/T and the Alfa, I'd pick an Uber.
- Michael S6 Nissan seems to be doing well at the low end of the market with their small cars and cuv. Competitiveness evaporates as you move up to larger size cars and suvs.

What an attack of the Chicken Littles! Sure, this will shake Toyota's halo a little, but until they've built crap for 30 years they're still not in GMs shoes. I'm no Toyota lover, but I'm sure not putting on my tinfoil hat yet either.
Check out this link: http://abcnews.go.com/images/Blotter/ToyotaAcceleratorPedal20100127.pdf If this letter is genuine then it says the recall only applies to cars made in N America with that CTS pedal. I checked my vin# and it starts with a J- yes! I lucked out, unless they find another reason for the problem other than that part. However this huge recall will probably hurt all of toyota cars' resale values. I will have to drive this baby into the ground- oh well, we keep our cars for 10 yrs anyway. This is the 1st foreign car I have ever bought -figures! I guess next time I will stick with Ford...
