Replying to: coontie66 (Jul 07, 2009 4:11 am) It almost never fails to amaze me that while RUG to PUG is FULLY 98% of the passenger vehicle fleet, the assumption is modern diesels are "dirtier" than RUG to PUG vehicles. Burning (20-40%) more is better than burning less (and at higher cost per mile) !!! |

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 03, 2009 7:40 pm) Au Contraire.....I eyeballed a 2010 Prius stickered for $23,559 at Riverview Toyota in Phoenix. I asked the salesman if that was the true price, no markup, and he said Yep.

Replying to: houdini1 (Jul 08, 2009 2:20 pm) Was not completely base, no, it was not. The bottom line sticker price, after everything, was $23,559. Gary can be right all he wants, but I sat in this car and talked to the salesman about it while I was waiting for my TCH to get the 45K service. Qty 14 2010 Priuses in Phoenix for sale under $24K

Replying to: larsb (Jul 08, 2009 2:33 pm) Not sure your point? You could sell a Prius for $10k and it still would be lacking in all the important areas. Handling, Braking and safety. So you have a reliable brick that gets decent mileage while holding up traffic. PS Your link does not work

Vehicle: 4-door pick-up that seats 5, all wheel drive, 8.3in ground clearance, ABS, Electronic stability control, dual airbags. Engine, transmision and tow specs: A high-torque, 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission that’s expected to be rated at least 30 mpg on the highway (unloaded) and be able to haul up to 2,700 pounds and tow up to 5,000 pounds. AND if it can be had for low-$20,000s? I have a Ford F150 that gets 17 MPG, and need a family car for economical daily and road trips. This would solves my dilemma of needing two vehicles. What's your opinion - worth the wait till Dec 2009? |
