We just got a new used Toyota Corolla!

A 2-door '04 Honda Civic LX at the moment. Quite honestly, I wouldn't touch a North American car with a ten-foot pole. My parents went through a Ford and two Chrysler/Dodge before switching to a Toyota Camry ('03), Corolla ('05) and the Civic.

I'm driving a 1995 Camaro. Had it since it was new. Its been a great car, but I'll probably be looking at getting a new car next year.

I'm probably going to drive my dad's 2001 mercedes S430 when I get my permit/licence in the next two years. Either that, or I'll get Infiniti G35.

exactly one week ago my parents went looking for a new car and when they got to the dealership a black Toyota Scion XA just rolled off the truck... we've had it since Monday and it's AWESOME!

You see that's what I'm talking about a Camaro even though I'm more of a Ford guy but I like some chevy's too. You should sell it to me.

No, I like my car but sometimes I really wish I had a Mustang though. God how I want a Mustang...

People who have Yotas, they're pretty good cars but I like their pick-up trucks better.

Nissan Pathfinder

Its got heated leather seats and a Bose sound system. Great for skiing!

Toyota scion is a nice car. Toyota is really good and reliable, so is acura.

I have a 2002 (I think) Honda Civic EX. It's my baby, I love it. I use to have a Dodge Neon, biggest piece of crap, which explains its low price.
I'm not really a big car person, I just want something reliable that looks cute.

Scion is the brand not Toyota, They are part of the Toyota company but they are not called Toyota's.

I really like the new Mustangs as well. The new body style they started in 2005 is great. Looks like a modern update to the old classics.

Toyota makes some very reliable trucks. We sold a old 1977 Toyota truck last year to a guy my Dad works with. It still runs great from what I've heard. The guy that bought it runs a landscaping business on the side, and has been using the Toyota lately because its very good on gas compared to his Ford trucks that he uses (F250s).

Sometimes I still wished we had that truck. I remember learning to drive a manual transmission on that truck, fun times.

Haha, you know how I learn how to do manual trans? I leaned it from driving a tractor at this ranch. I would always complain because I thought it didn't sound tractory enough. Then I started to drive my sister's car (02' Kia Rio) which is also manual and I took it from there.

Yeah they're actually American cars. Well some American Auto company I forget which bought Toyota, life Ford owns Mazda and Dodge Mitsubishi. I actually really don't know but what I do know is that my car has a Mazda engine in it so they are partners of some sort.

Ford owns Mazda.
DaimlerChrysler owns Mitsubishi.
Nobody owns Toyota.

I drive a '95 Jeep Cherokee Sport (when I bought it last year, it only had 39,000 miles!)

Actually they aren't. Scions have the same engine as the Echo and have mostly replaced it as it wasn't selling well. As you know, the Echo is made by Toyota of Japan.

General motors has a PARTNERSHIP with toyota but that it all. It is it's own company and based in Japan. All of the parts of my toyota were made in Japan but it was actually assembled in Canada. And DaimlerChrysler has only part ownership of Mitsubishi as I last heard (along with Hyundai and I think Kia) and Ford has part ownership in Mazda. I think that stuff was from 2004 though (I read about it in AAA a while back) so maybe things have changed since then.

The Ford Focus has a Mazda engine, maybe that's what you were thinking of.

i have a Rolls Canardly.(the old ones are the best) It rolls down hills beautifully but can 'ardly get up 'em if you dont get it i give up.

You're right! I double checked the year on my car, and though I graduated in 2003, I have an '04 Silver Corolla.

It's completely understandable--but what an expensive hobby! But the car does look nice after.

Such a comedian, MMP. But I can't really get anywhere on the bike, the exercise bike, that is.

Well so dose my Ford Probe. It also has a Mazda tranny too. Everything mechinical in that car is either from Mazda or Mexico for the electronic parts. The only thing made in America is the body probably the chassis as well I'm not sure about that. I mean the repair manual I have says Mazda 626 and MX-6 because they're vertually the same cars. They have the same mechanical componets. "Russian componets... American componets... ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!!" Actually Mexico is one of the biggest suppliers of electronics.

And all about that stuff about the Scion I really don't know where they come from and I don't really car. I'm not a huge fan of them. I just know how cars run and make them go faster.

Yeah it is. I plan on puting atleast $10,000 or labor and parts on it but you know that really ups the retail value and your car looks pretty sweet too. So it's going to take me like 5 years to do all of that but it will be worth it IF I sell the car.
