If the goal is lowest cost per mile, a Toyota Tacoma 2.7 base model, at 21/23/25 and a much lower base price, would be a better way to go. You can buy several THOUSAND gallons of gas the difference in price!

I'm seeing Corbin's Sparrow revisited . . . and that concept is still kicking around, still waiting to take flight:

Chevy tried Geo. It didn't work. They pulled the plug. Life went on. Toyota can, and should, do the same thing with Scion . . .

My '09 has the 2TR-FE, not the 1AR-FE - why change? More mpg for less reliability?

Respect is a two-way street. Respect is earned, not given. Just because you're bigger does NOT mean you can cross the centerline (to make wide turns), camp out in the left lane (trying to pass another semi going 1 MPH slower than you) or riding the bumper of the vehicle in front of you! Yes, the Saturn filled in a…

Because all that stuff costs $$$$$ and wll likely, eventually, break! I don't need or want an obsolete, 10-year-old, nav/entertainment system, I just need a radio. I don't need or want 10 years of ground-in dirt in the carpet, I prefer rubber floors. While I'd like more cab space, I'll trade that for a tighter…

Have you noticed how the proportions of the 4-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited match those of many 1930'3 sedans, absent a trunk on back?

Bring back the basic single cab model (killed for this year) . . . .

Enola Gay / Boeing B-29

Weird - they kept the dash shifter for the Powerglide . . .

I still say they need to need to name something "BFD" . . . .

I have an '09 base model that cost me $15K new - I can't fathom spending more than twice as much for a distant cousin.

Looks OK to me, I just don't get the trend of making planes into flying billboards, with airline names so big that they cover the windows. Do the brand specialists think that we're going to remember that some competitor flies to X airport when we're looking out the window on a taxiway?

Looks like a really tight fit between the jump seats and the door frames - if you can't get your fat ass inside, what good is all the luxury?!

TBM or TMB? Fourth paragraph and third photo . . . .

I once flew on an international Delta flight with a very senior flight attendant - it seemed like the rest of the crew was picking up a lot of the slack that she was creating. I'm 61, I plan on working a lot more years, but there are some jobs that require more physical skills than ANY 90 year old can muster, and…

Street Rod Nationals Plus in Louisville - 15,000+ . . . http://www.louisville.com/content/45th-a…

You're mixing two very different driving challenges together, driving forward, in traffic, and attempting to back up. When driving a van (or any vehicle, for that matter), the exterior, door mirrors work fine in moving traffic. It's only when you're trying to back up that they come up short, and whether it's an…

Being the contrarian here, EVERY design decision carries cost implications. With the clarity of 20/20 hindsight, there are many decisions that each one of us would have made differently in our lifetimes. If we want affordable vehicles (like the Cobalt and its ilk), we ARE going to see multiple compromises, on…

Unfortunately, it looks even more kit car than classic, now . . . .
