    Reading the various comments above I am unsure whether to laugh, cry or sigh. Maybe all three. At least we lived to see the turn of the century. Any bets on seeing the next one?

      We'll see it but not as the country we currently inhabit. The US Government will have definitely run its course by then. This will be a very different country in 2100, not recognizable from what it is now.

    If Rodney Dangerfield was a car, he'd be a Pinto. With that said, the Pinto was by no means the worst of the 70's auto abominations. Ever ride in a Plymouth Volare?

  • Teddyc73 A bigger more pressing question, why are automakers now suddenly called "OEMs"? I'm sure "legacy OEM's" isn't far behind.
  • Keith_93 It is so hard to care what car names are used from a company called "Stellantis".
  • Bd2 Well, the next Highlander is reportedly going all electric, leaving the GH to compete against the likes of the Telluride, Pilot, Palisade, Pathfinder, etc.
  • Bd2 May be the best Camry since the XV10 (1990-1996MY).
