Interesting Article  Its true, everybody seems to want a Truck or SUV nowadays. May be a smart move on Fords part. 

 

Toyota sells roughly 12 different Automobiles  with a multitude of grades buried in those models. I also think they could drop several cars.

And when gas hits $5 gallon people will be scrambling back to fuel efficient cars. Remember 1973.

Does this mean Fiesta destined to be a Classic?

Looks like Hybrid is going to be the thing for the near future.    Also forced air induction is gaining traction.  I have to give it to Ford. They are evolving their trucks.

The 1989 Ford Taurus ties for #1 on my list of Worst Cars of All Time.

Tied with the 1982 Chevy Cavalier.

Taking either one to a junkyard and angrily sledgehammering them to smithereens would be too kind a fate.

 

Of course, the current Cadillac XTS is a strong challenger.

I had a 1983 Cavalier and it was OK.  Not the worst. 

Worst vehicle I ever had was a 1993 or 1994 (can't remember) Chevy G20 conversion van.  EVERYTHING went wrong...  Don't know what I was thinking by keeping it past the warranty.  Guess I figured that things that got fixed under the warranty would never be a problem again.  That was really stupid on my part.  After I got rid of it I swore I would NEVER by another GM product.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

If only Toyota would drop the rough-riding, small cab, featureless Tacoma from their lineup.  

Why would they drop the number one selling mid size truck in America with the highest resell value of any vehicle sold in America.

Rusting frames, uncomfortable ride, plastic bed, breakage under loads, poor fuel economy, just to name a few.  I get it - the Taco has a STRONG fanboi base.  But I really don’t see why.  Every single person I have talked to who was a former Tacoma owner talked it down pretty badly.  I’m a small guy, and I found the driver’s seat to be uncomfortable even on a test drive.  Wouldn’t want to sit in one for a long drive.

Don't all Toyota's rust? I know my husband's bucket-o-bolts is rusting like crazy. At least it's not a RAM.

Honestly, the only thing that matters are EVs.

Gas guzzling cars aren't worth my time anymore.
