Ummm... Yeah...... And my 5 speed manual is actually a 10 speed....

Come on guys, don't dis the K-kar, look at this beauty: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Dodge-Aries-K-86-DODGE-...1QQcmdZViewItem

No, I'm just asking, cause I wanna know if anyone has first-hand experience of how the real-world milage is on these things.

Has anyone driven a Toyota hybrid yet?

Um, it's suppose to debut in the Detroit auto show, it's going to come around April, or May, because they still have their '06 models and they can't overlap right away. Also new from Toyota at Detroit, will be the FJ-Cruiser, Tundra.

Ya the debt Molrouney caused when he got rid of the tarif tax, lol. Now we have a surplus, and the Liberals aint cutting the GST.

Nice, I guess.....

Good point

Allot of business before NAFTA were Canadian based, ever since that genious named Brian Molrouney opened up the borders, companies relocated to Mexico, like Nortel for example. Before NAFTA, US companies had to pay heavy tarrifs to bring stuff to Canada. Therefoe, there was allot of factories based here, giving people jobs. Now the US is treating Canada like the Northern Mexico. Americans own ALLOT of property up here. I don't know how much Japan Inc owns, but from what I know, Americans love to buy land here, and open warehouses, cause its cheaper to store materials here than the US. It goes on and on and on........ Oh let's not forget about the GST, that was introduced because Canada lost so much money thanks to NAFTA.

Actually, that is how the Camry will look like here as well Look: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthre...t=81131&page=34 scroll down....

I understand that, cause I have friends in school who have family members working in Oshawa. It is unfotunate and sad, but the imports have been here and strong since the 70s and 80s. 10 years ago, GM owned over 50% of the marketshare, they were laughing, now they fell apart, cause theyre just too big. It's not the worker's fault, nor Toyota's fault, ten years ago, people were into imports as much as they are now. Don't worry, I know how it feels when my mom got layed off over ten years ago when she worked at the Woolco head office, then Wal-Mart stepped in.

That attitude gets you nowhere.

Would you people stop crying that the Solstice did not win! Boo Hoo, cry me a river! It's just like crying over the fact that you were not placed student of the month in elementary school. Since this discussion is at a grade 6 level, let me see a show of hands children of who actually driven or even sat in the Solstice, or the new Civic that all of you seem to be all experts of? Good job GM, for coming out with the Solstice, better luck next time. And congradulations to Honda. Life goes on!

That's very untrue! I worked at a Honda dealership for 2 years, and I've seen many customers consider other vehicles than the Accord. Including domestics. Give me an example where people are told not to buy domestics?

I never believe anything that comes out of Dalton Mcguinty's mouth.

Toronto.

That's competition man, the consumer in the end will choose what they want. You can't shove things down people's thorats, or get mad when people don't buy domestic.

Actually they have one of the highest resale values.

How do you know that?

Ahhhhhh, ok..... that's why every 10th car on the road is a new Civic.

Remember when the UAW was critisizing the Japanese for not unionizing their plants. Where is the UAW is "help" their employees now? The non-union plants now are 800 stronger and meanwhile, 3,800 lose their jobs in a unionized work place, that is designed to protect their workers from lay-offs.

Hudson, you have similar views to mine! and this is a very good point!

No union influence there, that's why they could import them freely from Europe.

Hey, I got an idea, let's blame the media for this.
