Thank you Sir Yoda. That explains why they are so closely priced. Which one has the better sales, in JDM, Avensis or the Crapry?

I kinda liked the concept. Let us see how the final product turns out to be.

Man I thought Crapry and the Turdra were the ones with the best interiors in their respective categories.

Yeah it is not a good thing to be below industry average. GM needs at least one brand in the top three period. I hate to see Cadillac lingering that much in the bottom.

Did these come with Navigation Standard?

What is the difference between the Avensis and the Crapry? They are so close in pricing. Is one of them a hatch or wagon?

Yeah let somebody else take my depreciation. The first two years are horrible, where the car loses at least 20%. I will let some wanna be with loads of money have it, I will get it after that.

Nissan Versa to Peugeot 308. Give my ugly rump back!! NOW.

+1 LOL. May be he has a redneck wife who punches him into submission to be a NASCAR fan.

That light in the bumper looks like a Zit on Ass, full of puss.

With the recent gas prices spiralling have been doing a non scientific experiment to find out how much driving habits can change the fuel economy. Reading those news about people getting 50 mpg in a regular four banger Accord makes you think how do people claim this surreal number. Is it true or it is a banal trick played by the import humpers. Websites like these Gas Savers make me try to validate this claim. So here goes my experiment. I will just give the data, you folks decide what to claim from it. The Precursors: 1. I keep a pretty close if not up to the decimal tab on my fuel economy numbers. For the previous miles, before the experiment, my three cars have averaged as follows. a. 1998 Lumina City: 22.3 mpg (+-1.1) b. 2003 Corvette Z06: 21.2 mpg (+-0.5) c. 2005 TSX 6-speed: 26.1 mpg (+-1.5) 2. The current experiment was conducted on one tank of gas for each of the vehicles, as per the fuel I use. (Mid grade for Lumi and Premium for the other two). 3. I pretty much followed the instructions of the gassavers.org website. My goal was to drive with as light foot as possible, without speeding, and coast to the signal. But at the same time, I wanted to not to impede traffic, or cause any driving problems by excessively slow driving. 4. All three cars have had their services done within 1000 miles of the experiment. 5. I did not add any fuel additives, nor any drag prevention or aerodynamics technique. 6. All my cars are bone stock, with no mods, what so ever. 7. I have a general idea of how the lights operate on my way, and thus know when to coast and when to accelerate. The Procedure. 1. I drive 7.5 miles one way to work. It takes me about 14 minutes, by my regular driving to drive back and forth to work. 2. All the three cars were topped to the limit (just enough to see the gas coming out of the protective flap. 3. The gas was refilled about at the time when the fuel light came on. Or the arrow passed the red dashed lines on the fuel indicator. 4. For the manual transmission cars, I passed the gears in sixth in as few changes as possible. For the vette, the 1-4 shift was used, followed by the shift in the sixth gear at about 25 mph. For the TSX I usually passed from 1-3-6. 5. The time of travel was noted. 6. I tried to avoid interstates, and expressways. 7. Experiment conducted also included my travel to the groceries, restaurants, errands and other stuff. Results: Following is the general summary of the three cars Car Lumi Cori Tara Start Day 5-May 6-May 3-May End Day 31-May 2-Jun 4-Jun Days 26 27 32 Miles 359.8 421.3 524.9 Refill (Gallons) 14.8 16.5 16.2 Avg. mpg 24.3 25.5 32.4 Average Time* 15.8 15.4 16.1 % Gain 8.96 20.28 24.14 Miles/Day 13.8 15.6 16.4 * Calculated for Work only. Total miles 1306 My Cafe (27.5) General Results: 1. On an average the fuel economy went up by about 4.3 mpg, (18.5%) by my defensive driving. The average time increased by about 1.5 minutes or about 10%. That is not a significant number considering it is well within my driving limits or regular driving. 2. It seems like the manual transmissions offered a better control over the automatic. 3. Those numbers are no way near what those geezers claim. Now Let the discussion begin.

Fly add to it Accent Corolla It seemed like the other day, I-4 had rice orgasm. I saw about 15 teenies driving their rice mobiles in a formation. Guess school is out and they have nothing to do.

I took my 1998 Chevy Lumina from Orlando to Pikeville, Ky to Ripley, WV and back in Dec 2006. The car had 138,xxx and when I came back it had 141,xxx. Overall the average fuel economy was 27.4, that included in town driving. The best tank I got was about 31, and the worst was 24 in the mountain driving in Eastern Ky.

Now add a Quad-core CPU and dual Nvidia 8800 GTX Ultra on SLI and I can play Supreme Commander while Driving the CTS-V.

I got my old Lumina from Tom Peden, Ripley WV. The C-FL dealer here Coggin Chevrolet is a good one. I service my Lumina and the Vette there. Fountain Acura-GMC where I service my TSX is a good one too.
