It took me a sec. but that's funny!

Too bad it most likely will be Front-wheel biased. It's pretty lame when a car sends at most 30% of its power to the rear wheels and its marketed as if it has amazing handeling all of a sudden.

If it was due to maintenance then we'd see an even spread of all the different manufacturers with this problem, what Toyota is trying to insist that people who drive/own GM, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Nissan etc. never neglect their cars' naintenance but millions of their cars' owners do? BULL$#IT! In typical Japanese engineering fashion they over-annalize one aspect of a design while completely neglecting another, some Re-Re engineer probably thought that the thinner oil passages were the best thing since sliced bread. Those stuid Americans are too dumb to narrow down their WIDE & wastefull oil passages in order to improve fuel economy and save the environment and such.

I agree... STS should not offer a V6 anymore. Perhaps they should offer a choice of a Northstar or an LS motor... the old school crowd can go with the pushrod but at a savings.

Thos was done years ago, nothing new. LAst time IIRC it was a Sunfire, read it in "GM Edge."

Moms are people who love you so much and worry about you incesantly to the point where their concern can come close to killing you at times.

Let's start a petition to get GM off its arse and give us some diesels here in the USA. Just make DAAAAAMN sure they do not have any of the problems the 80s did, easy enough since GM has some kick-butt diesels overseas.

I say it was drug overdose either by accident or otherwise...

Holy $h!, charity or not $200 a ticket is TOO much!

Bigger blind spots = more accidents = more OEM parts sales = bigger profits!

It certainly SOUNDS very simple. Eight words and a hypen is about as basic as it gets for a part description. Fantastic! We all know computers never fail.

I know I'm old fashioned but I'll keep my pushrods and the occassional DOHC, simple IS better. Just Ask Mr. Muprhey. Don't get me wrong I've owned several DOHC cars, the Northstar was by FAR the best of them, as beat to f**k as my Cadillac was at just 101,000 miles. I gues the Infiniti's 4100 is alright but even HP/Liter wise it's not even close to the Cadillac. Still it gets the job done. The quality of my life would not be somehow increased expinentially just because the MPG goes up a couple percentage points or perhaps because my hydrocarbons or C0 is reduced by about the equivelant of a Taco Bell fart. I think that about 75% of today's "progress" is just needless complication and B.S. that only results in more repairs and headaches while emptying out our wallets.

If this is what Toyota considers a "design refresh" they need to climb into a lukewarm bathtub with a sharp knife and end it all.

Isn't the whole damn car an "ELECTRICAL DEFECT"?

My blood pressure is rising quickly... A flippin couch is a much better way to use the 32% of a 1956 Dodge than just grafting it on a rear ended Chevette. WTF is wrong with these people that they spend time doing crap like this!?

How's October of 2005 sound? You busy then? That car is such a thorn in my side! "I hava da buyerz remorse!" Take away the $h!ty tires, smashed windshield, horrific oil leak, torn front fascia and craptastic battery terminals and install the Arnott suspension I bought and you have quite a decent ride. Not anything that can hold a candle to a new rear-drive STS but it certainly still has massive power. Amazing with 147K miles that engine stil pulls like a bat out of hell.

I'm not going to touch that with Fly's login on B.V.s computer. SmallChevy said it best.

This was when Toyota was making cars that did not completely suck in eevry way. They were still the underdog and their niche stealing ideas off US manufacturers so god-damn blatantly they'd brag about ti in their advertising. I'd take a hardtop 1970s Toyota over any modern Toy-Lex made.

O.B. Corona was a cool name for a car. Last time I saw one was in NY, NY in April of 2006 when I went there to see the Camaro concept, it was sitting on a street like any beige Corolla or Camry. I think it was like a 1970 or 1972. Looked mint. There's also a few at local junkyards. The Cressida was a cool name... and the Carina is worth a mention.

That's when I become a Zombie that drives a 1978 Trans Am SE. I'll drive around chasing afer people and after they smack their Prius into a tree I'll drag them out by their hair, smash their head like a coconut, open up the skull like a coffee can and eat their f**king brains for lunch!!!

Seriously. I never had a big problem with here and wished her no harm... and more than likely this was not a murder but when there's as much money involved as she was in a position to inherit there's always a chance for foul play. You never know.... Or perhaps that Trim-Spa crap could have kiled her if she over did it. RIP I guess, the real tragedy is leaving behind an infant. Either way At times I thought she was damn sexy.

Happy Birthday guys!!!

Inverted C-pillars are cool on 1960s Mopars, but if they're 20" thick and on a hatchback econobox it's prettty lame. That dashboard is ATROCIOUS the the shifter looks quite a bit "Fisher Price"! Still it's better looking than the xA, from every angle.
