Non-union is good. Non-union made in the USA is even better.

I've seen worse looking cars. More practice than the crappy Volt and I like the color.

Personally, I find Camry's a coma inducing old ladies car.

Sounds like a good bumper sticker.

Proudly “NUMITUSA” only ‘some’ people would get it. ; )

Most people come to settle for reliable and comfortable.

It's very good. I'm not into hybrids myself, but I hope it takes off. This administration has put those Toyota people trough hell, and they did nothing wrong but reject unionism.

How much gas do you have to save to replace the batteries in three to five years. That most likely pushes the price well over 32K.

$16,000 LESS than the Government-subsidized Volt, and a MUCH better car.

Whodathunkit....

That Hyundai is one ugly looking car.

I'll bet you also thought the Pontiac Aztec was nice looking too.

The profits still go to Japan.

I don't them either. The Kia versions look much better, IMO.

You don't. The warranty is much longer than that.

Nope. the aztac was fugly.

I am just anti toyota.

If I wanted high mileage, I’d buy a VW TDI.

Maybe, but if this new hybrid was made 200 lb lighter by constructing it out of origami, I’d hate to be in one during an accident.

True... but most of the jobs are in the American south. Better than union jobs.

This a case of keeping jobs here in America instead of cars being built in Mexico or South America.

Way too big and not fun to drive - but well-made, reliable, good in a crash, reasonable maintenance and apparently good mileage. Not my kind of car, but a good car.
