    On the Toyota topic... no road feel, bland styling, no soul, reliable ... yup, that’s a Toyota (no, the Z4 rebadge and BRZ rebadge don’t count). No reason to expect it to magically change.

    No, wife hasn’t driven anything yet. I’ll have to drag her to dealers in the summer.

    I used to be a big Toyota fan, but their latest offerings just don’t do much of anything for me. I want to like the Avalon but can get over the awful front end.

    The only US spec Toyota car that I like is the Supra 3.0 Premium- and it's not really a Toyota.

    I watched that video earlier. Reinforced my belief that many more sticks should be sold! But manual PUs are rare as hens teeth still I assume (since your 2 options are Taco and Gladiator if you don't want used).

    That new SUV Toyota's coming out with that was posted in here earlier looks pretty interesting. Drive a lot of newer Rav4's at work and they do everything right. Sure, not the most exciting vehicle's on the road but just like the way they drive. And with the right combo of alloys and paint color, they can look pretty good. I know down here in South Florida, one sees them everywhere, with every age behind the wheel. Seems that Toyota hit the bullseye with this model and the public seems to agree. If one would fit better on my side of the garage, think I'd have one there right now. A co-worker just bought a CPO 2019 XLE for a decent price with mileage in the mid teens and he's extremely happy with it. A very clean automobile in that bland silver color that one sees in every parking lot. Not a huge fan of pre-owned vehicles but think I'd have no issue buying a low mileage 2020 Rav4 if I had to. Haven't really looked but if the price of a brand new unit wasn't that much more, would probably just go that route and be the first to own it.
    Bland vehicle for like 90% of my poster buddies in these forums but at this stage of my life, I'd be happy to own one for the "cheap to keep" factor. I'm about at the end of my rope dealing with vehicular drama in my life going forward, that's just where I'm at. And really, it could still be a possibility, one just never knows!

    I won my informal bet with myself that you'd end up with an Acura.
    I was reading between the lines as your gave your test drive evaluations.
    Plus you have never been disappointed in your Acura choices that you've
    mentioned nor in the dealership and sales folks.

    Congrats on your new car.

    What colors are the loaner G90 you've got?
    Pictures if it's a nice combination?

    I ask because I've been browsing stores from Dayton, Cincy, and Columbus.
    I saw one at a Columbus store that had a white with a blue interior. Despite a drab outside color
    for my person prefs, the interior was great. It was like the 60s and 70s where
    interior colors went beyond grey, black, and sort of black.

    Not really, the atmosphere of mars is as thin as earths is at an altitude of 22+ miles, we have had experimental jet aircraft hit those heights. So its conceivable that with a wing span large enough and a fast enough rotation speed it could be done.

    10-4 good buddy.

    How many remember the days when handles weren't your username on FB or twitter or some other trendy internet puff?

    I listened to an older guy talk about his handle on the CB while he drove a semi on a regular route from Boston to Wheeling.

    I never had a handle? I just listened mostly when making longer drives or on a trip.
    Anyone else?

    Mars air pressure is only .088 psi equal to about 100,000 feet high on earth. At that altitude your blood would boil without a space suit. The SR 71 might have gotten that high but mostly it would only be possible with Ram jets or rockets like the X15.

    It’s obviously possible but it’s still pretty impressive that they can do it in such thin air.

    It is frustrating but they can only do what they can do. The main problem is they are putting all their eggs in one basket....you could wait for the new radio and that might not be the problem. Not my field but I think it is more likely a programing fault.....or did they check that out completely?

    Like I said, when we went to pick up the 2013 Audi A4 they tried to hook up our Bluetooth. The tech guy spent a fair bit of time, he said it was a programing problem, take the car and when they have it figured out they will call us in. It took about a week before Audi Head Office - probably Germany came up with a plan.

    Nice low mileage and I like that it is a luxury trim car (formal grille, hood star, less cladding, etc), not highly loaded though. At one time I would have said the price was normal, but everything is inflated by 20% these days, so it's probably fine, especially if it has a good warranty.

    Yes, that's a 4cyl. Probably 90% of sedans are the 4cyl, just like at least 90% are the "sport" trim - my car not being "sport" was a big attraction. Black is fine if there's no sun and it never gets dirty! :)

    Genesis called me - radio is on back order - they have no idea when one will be available. I will know more later today. You would think they would air-freight it from Korea to Miami or Ft. Lauderdale, but that makes too much sense.

    Well, I know where there is one - in the loaner G90 you are currently driving. Why not swap the two units and get you back in your new car? The loaner can wait.

    @bwia
    You seem to have a thing for electric cars these days.....what is going on?
    Those Toyotas look like Darth Vaders car.
    It seems to me they are making lots of advances with electrics.......if you buy too early your car might be out of date within a year.

    @driver100 Yes of course. Electric vehicles are becoming ubiquitous and with government mandates zero emissions cars will be the only vehicles on the road which is a good thing for the environment. No?

    .
    Doesn't producing electricity to run all these cars create pollution too! And if we all plug in our cars at the same time do we have enough power to supply the cars and homes and businesses?
    I think my biggest drawbacks are distance, and do I really want to spend $50000 on something that could be dated next year......just saying........

    That’s a question I’ve always wondered about. Which is the most efficient way of delivering motive energy, by fossil fuel made centralized plant production through the grid and into your vehicle or produced by your vehicle for direct use. Also, what is the carbon equivalent of both methods?

    Ideally, power would be produced by renewable sources but I doubt that existing capacity could handle both structures and automobiles anytime soon.

    Probably being affected by the chip shortage too.

    It is frustrating but they can only do what they can do. The main problem is they are putting all their eggs in one basket....you could wait for the new radio and that might not be the problem. Not my field but I think it is more likely a programing fault.....or did they check that out completely?

    Like I said, when we went to pick up the 2013 Audi A4 they tried to hook up our Bluetooth. The tech guy spent a fair bit of time, he said it was a programing problem, take the car and when they have it figured out they will call us in. It took about a week before Audi Head Office - probably Germany came up with a plan.
    My two newer cars have all that high tech stuff but I’ll never know if any of it works.

    Small victory.

    The low battery key fob warning turns out to be just that. I got the batteries changed and problem solved.

    Nice to have a repair bill under 20 bucks for a change.

    Battery should be under $5, hope you didn't pay too much! :D
    About $7 for each fob. I didn’t know there were two batteries in each one.

    You mean they didn't steal it from you? I thought there was a vicious fob cabal at Kia. :wink:
    LOL, no. This was for the Ford.

    Well if it's on back order they are out of them and are waiting to get one to ship to you. They can't ship it to you if they don't have it.
    OK, what kind of bike can you buy that does 0 to 60 in 2.2 seconds?
    I thought you were looking at halving my cost of transportation.

    No, in the context of the discussion I would think street legal would be implied. Or I could talk about a fighter coming off an aircraft carrier getting to 170 MPH in 2 seconds.

    OK....here's one for you;
    What Is The Fastest Street Legal Car 0-60?
    The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the fastest production car from 0 to 60 mph as of 2020. You can’t buy it anymore because production ended in 2019, but you can find some on used car market with a bit of luck. This drag-ready beast will take you to 60 mph in an amazing 2.1 seconds.
    btw, for the record 808 hp.

    On the Toyota topic... no road feel, bland styling, no soul, reliable ... yup, that’s a Toyota (no, the Z4 rebadge and BRZ rebadge don’t count). No reason to expect it to magically change.

    No, wife hasn’t driven anything yet. I’ll have to drag her to dealers in the summer.

    Newer Toyotas are much better (road feel, etc.)
