I have never even test driven a Toyota (because the local dealer is a total butt, not anything to do with the cars). I have owned a Pontiac, a Chevrolet, 3 Oldsmobiles, 3 Fords, a Chrysler, 3 Hondas, an Acura, 2 Nissans and 4 Infinitis. Enjoyed every one of them. In my experience, the Infinitis have been far and away the most fun to drive, and also in my experience, the least expensive to maintain. Get a clue yourself Ed. I did not mention the word Toyota anywhere in my post. |
