Just order them from the GM dealer - a Toyota badge made for sale as a genuine GM part sells for about half the price as one from the Toyota dealer - even though suppliers and materials are the same.

Premium imports like Audi and Mercedes are on the rise in Japan, and the hope is that Cadillac will be able to ride that wave too. (And unlike the U.S.' infamous chicken tax, Japan has no tariffs on imported cars.)

I'd agree... except that I knew a guy who at the age of 98 would go out swing-dancing and out lindy hop all the kids on the floor, even at 120+ bpm. That is NOT physically easy. Imagine someone that old doing this...

But let's say there's no high curb or angled drive in the way. Let's say The Beast has nothing but open road ahead. Right now it's slow. Too slow. The top-speed is said to be 60 mph, meaning a bad guy in an old Beetle could easily catch up to it. It's actually slower than The Beast wooden roller coaster.

Many plants still do. I know Ford's Sharonville Transmission plant does, for instance.

Knowing these guys, its pretty anti-union.

The thing is, these loans aren't like four or five years. We're talking six or seven years with financing near five percent. This means that cars are more accessible to more people, which is a good thing, but it also means that these cars will be on the road for a long time. By the time the loans are paid off, they'll…

Just to give a sense of scale, the SU-27 is just 28 inches shorter in length, but 5 inches taller in height than a B-17 Flying Fortress.

Also says something about anti-theft tech, too, though. The Ford Mustang used to be high up on these lists, despite lower sales than the Accord/Civic, but they started chipping their keys around 96, IIRC, and theft rates almost immediately fell off a cliff.

The Airmen and The Headhunters...

There's also a episode of the PBS series Secrets of the Dead about this. Basically a B-24 crew gets shot down over Borneo and the Japanese come searching for them. The crew takes refuge, being protected by the Dayaks - these tribes were known…

At least the 5 has sliding doors and a third row. A Prius V has neither. It's more of a straight short wagon or regular 5 door hatch.

CarMax?

You mean the same thieves who wanted $18,200 for a 1 year old 2009 Mazda 6 i Sport with 38,000 miles on the odometer when the local "stealership" would sell me a brand new 2010 with identical equipment and 4 miles on the odometer for $17,800 with no negotiations?

Yeah, CarMax is a great place. (sarcasm)

WTF is that?

There's actually a Supreme Court precedent here that allows union members to not have to pay for non-core union activities, but I'm not sure that's quite what this is about.

Not exactly.

After tax credits, I can get a Volt ~$2200 cheaper than a Prius plug-in (lower tax credit) or about $1000 cheaper than a Prius four or about the same price as a Prius three. Considering that the Volt lies somewhere between the three and four for equipment, I'd say that's it's cheaper than a comparably…

I certainly don't see anything approaching a minivan, either.

I wouldn't be surprised if hit & run was different and just not called out in the .gov website

Page 2,section 1:

"Your no-fault insurance DOES NOT pay for repairs to your car if it is damaged in an accident. If your car is properly parked and hit by another car, the other driver's no-fault coverage will pay for the damage to your car.""

If it's like MI's setup, her insurance would have to pay - if a properly parked vehicle is damaged by another driver in MI, that other driver's insurance is required to pay the full cost.
