What a cheap piece of shit! Basically, a Neon disguised as a mini SUV. Likely tageting the SUV-wanna-owns that can't afford a real one. Look for a billion of these fuckers in the Buy&Sell in a few years time, when there will be so many on the market that people won't be able to give them away. Fuckin' Neon all over again. I guess as long as there are people dumb enough to buy them. Look how many Neons they sold.

Rant over.

Didn't Chrysler indicate that the Caliber was going to replace the Neon??
So why is this a surprise?

I don't think anybody indicated any surprise here.
Just a simple declamation of displeasure is all.
You are confused.

Based on a recent article in Financial Post Toyota is on track to pass GM as the world's largest automaker. I have owned several Toyotas (both cars and trucks), myself and consider them to be top quality in terms of finish, reliability and resale value.

I looked at the latest Hondas... nice look, nice ride too. But I think they went backwards in terms of quality. Talk about cheap feeling. Honda has lost to Toyota in the competition for best Jap automaker. I don't think it even rates with Mazda anymore, and some Nissans seem to better quality too.

Yup, talk about your disposable car, and maybe sooner than the owner
thinks if they didn't change the head gasket design, POOF, go get another
head gasket replaced.

Same as the plymouth reliant or anotherwords K car. Poor head design
which leaked oil out the front of the block through the oil passage between
the cylinder head and block.
At least the K car was a reliable UGLY piece of shit other than the above
mentioned.

I found toyota to be about the least inspiring cars to drive of nearly all the manufacturers.

I myself recently bought a new car.
And so have 2 good friends.
I went with both as they shopped for a new car.
It was unanimous between the 3 of us that we were left totally uninspired by all the toyota cars we drove.
Not that they were really bad cars.....just did nothing well IMHO.

The seats of the camry and Avalon i drove, were horrible.
The power and handling of both left me wanting a LOT more.
The overall experience wsa not as good as i found in even say a mazda or honda or a dodge ( which i bought) .

I drove the accord and it felt more like a whole unit somehow.
The acceleration and handling at least to my ass felt like a camry killer....the seats actually were comfy and the car just had a better dash layout, sound system etc than the camry by a large margin.

The only cars i placed below toyota in my test drives were the incredibly boring offerings by VW.
I would fall asleep and crash in more than a 3 minute drive in VW.... I did not know in the year 2006 that any car maker could make as big of crap as VW appears to make.


I want ot add i did not drive any hyundai or kia products, so they are not included in this comaprison. :)

1. all car makers are moving to the 'universal' platform to save money.

2. honda used the civic platform for their SUV ...
