I kinda like the new Camry. Not that I would buy it since it's too big for my taste but I would probably buy the Yaris if I didn't already have the Echo.

Oh,did you forget to mention that if you buy a Prius there is NO SALES TAX (incentive) and you get a huge tax break on your 1st year (deduction off of your taxable income)and did I mention with GM slumping sales that by years end TOYOTA WILL be the worlds #1 automaker .And not sure if it has been mentioned yet but were you aware that TOYOTA is now Controlling Stock Holder in SUBARU......
(I think they liked something that subaru had and subaru wouldn't sell it to them so they just bought enough stock in subaru that they became the Major share holder,hence they ended up getting what they wanted anyway

ECHO= least expensive,best fuel mileage(besides prius)and vehicle with the least problems that toyota makes(mostly because it is built in Japan)and would be my choice of a DD if I didn't turn my evo into the rolling MONEY PIT!!!!!!!!!

where do you live cuz my parents bougth a new 05 in november and they didnt use their tax break because they are trading it in and its 1,400 more form jan 1 2006 so its up to 3,400 tax break. you know people say you lose money when you drive off the lot but with the prius you make money how ironic and is in foreign teritoy being priased by the us government...and its not even built here yet....did i also mention toyota is the first company to introduce a self parallel parking car.. yep you guessed it the brand new 2007 prius will have that as an option for minimal cost..kinda gets you thinking what domestic manufactures are doing..i mean cumon american made the damn car why are losing now....mabe the sang is true 'if you dont use it you lose it.' just my 2 cents...im glad the toyota has subaru now as opposed to gm. damn lazy asses yousing otherestechnolgy and 1gen behind in cars..damn they have to dig up old skool cars to relaim them as new ones havent seen toyota do this yet...o wait its called future not the past...dumbasses is all i can say but hey they look good that itself adds 2mpg to the 14...

yeah i agree performance wise they ended that back in 98. However what they make now is quality and reliability is unmatched. Also the new camary is a work of art, great looking and functional for the money.
