The employee pricing puts the v6 under 35k (33,xxx) and around 23 MPG per the EPA.
Isn't the Highlander built on the Camry platform? We test drove a few of those; they were great.Quote:

Well Toyota Financial called me this morning they want the 4Runner back on Dec. 17th.
I guess I need to bump this project further up the list.... ::Censor::
Buy the CTS V!!!!!!!!! Then you can carry your kids to the grocery store faster than everyone else on the block. Maybe Ken will then buy one so we can drive it at the APEX instructor day!!
Hell, he has 3 weeks before he has to do anything... If Ken buys one now, it should be available for POS to pick up used with plenty of time to spare!Quote:

But ya know I can get quite the deal on a Pontiac G8 GT... Hmmmmmm
My problem with the G8 GT is it is a Holden badged as a Pontiac sold by GM.... Which makes me wonder about reliability, longevity, and parts availability.... Plus has anyone ever seen one of these on the streets yet?

The drivetrain ought to be bulletproof, since GM has built a gazillion LSx engines, and the 6L80 transmission has been in everything from the Vette to the Yukon Denali to the XLR-V Series. If it's good enough for a $100k Caddy, it ought to hold up in a $30k Pontiac.
How the rest of the car will hold up is anyone's guess, but I'd bet being a rebadged Holden is probably a good thing.
All the reviews I've read compare the G8 to a poor man's M5. That doesn't sound like a bad thing at all, although I'd probably want to hold out for the GXP.
Lease and when GM goes bankrupt you should be free of the lease.
IIRC, if a car company goes belly up, Big Brother has provisions to make OEM parts available for 7 years.
::hal:: At least, that's the way it was when DeSoto went out of business ::OldMan::
For some reason GM and run-it-into-the-ground doesn't inspire long term confidence in me. ::2Cents::Quote:
