I got my wife a 2009 Toyota Corolla sport model with all sorts of suspension and traction options. Its a physically larger car then its predecessor corolla’s but its gas mileage is a solid 32 miles around town and 40 on the highway...on 10 per cent Ethanol brands! Good power, good acceleration and handling at less than 18k. And what sharp cool lines in an electric royal mettalic blue!
Why can’t Detroit put together models like that for that price!!!?
Because they don’t think we want that ... they make what they “think” we’d like ...
I remember grandad telling me stories about the muscle cars he and his friends built in H/S in the ‘50... so along comes Detroit finally with their version ... they they totally screwed it up .... the T’bird first, then the Mustang ....turned them into large family cars when all the people wanted was an European type sports car ....
