That interior is unbelievable....it’s plainly been babied, and I mean that in the best possible way. Combine the sterling interior/exterior plus Toyota reliability and ease of getting any needed parts....heck yeah, I’d pay asking for this car!

I showed this ad to my 16 year old son, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head he was so excited. Yes, the gold rims, amp/sub and lowering were big plusses in his book. He asserted that he’d be ‘kickin it’ if he drove up to the high school in that ‘sweet ride’. Its the first car he even said he’d drive as a …

David, I read Jalopnik every day whether or not you have an article, but have to say your recent human interest pieces have fast become favorite must-reads. I appreciate your enthusiasm for cars; I appreciate your kindness as a man even more.

Huh....I kinda liked this car, remember them when they came out. I’m not entirely sure about the price, but for the right person that’d be a fun car to have. We owned a K car LeBaron back in the early nineties, and liked it for a DD slash family car. I’m unsure how these Maserati infused K car based hybrids would…

I just wrote that very thing!

Dallas?! My God man, have some self respect.

Your car looks great! Love the color and (spring) rims together.

In Texas, Pickups and SUVs are becoming the de facto police vehicles.

Which might be why they were running late for work and improperly zipper merging on the freeway.

Where in the world do you get that from? I’m in SE Texas, in an area where 40-50% of the nation’s refineries are located, many of the jobs there are union. Actually, more blue collar union type jobs here as well, as the infrastructure to support the worker’s families are here also (i.e. electricians) - I know for a…

Im normally not a small car fan, but there’s something about this little vehicle I find enormously appealing. Nicely proportioned, sleek and clean....no extra molding to door panels, no fake side vents, nicely sized windows - it’s not at all pretentious. It’s just a car, meant to get you from point A to point B, not…

Came here to post the same thing. I’m in SE Texas myself, and see those older trucks around. Ads too, but don’t recall them being quite that pricey. I’d say 10k is a better price to start with, but if I were in the market for this truck, I’d open negotiations around $7k and go from there. $15k is too much for a truck…

You should come to my neck of the woods, here in SE Texas. You'd see plenty of single cab pickups here, running wild and free, as God intended.

And I'm old enough to remember those! I so wanted one of those....that, and a purple chopper. Perhaps that early love is why a 50+ year old woman is hanging out at a car enthusiast site. :-)

One of the most interesting things about that chart is that the Elantra actually had positive sales, the only car to do so. Combination of reliability, features and price still make it desirable?

Word.

You got that right, RN.

You got that right, RN.

Dear Lord, I thought I was the only one! My husband was so excited when I unwrapped it on Christmas Day; think his fellow teachers talked him into getting me this. I do like roast in this a bit better than in my crockpot, but that’s about it. My crockpot or my enamelled cast iron are about as handy, honestly. I…

I like what you said about what was done to the orange car. Personally, it’s not what I’d have done either, but I still find it lovely in a way. I can really appreciate their vision; someone has a real appreciation for cars, and has take great pride/pains with this vehicle. I live in a town with a lot of two extremes…

God help me....but I find this beautiful. Bet she's a pleasure to cruise around in, too.
