Toyota cheaped out?

My Prius has LED headlights. :rimshot:

I do find it amusing to look at our primary two vehicles that have nearly the same interior space (the 4Runner really wins out in behind the seat cargo space... 9cu.ft or something). On one hand, I have the 1.8L hybrid powered unit body car that makes Jetsons noises, packed to the gills with tech (radar cruise control, auto parking, electronic parking brake and shifter, LED headlights and taillights, headlight washers, built in Bing, Pandora, I can order ****ing movie tickets in it), drives small but big inside unit body, super aerodynamic Prius station wagon. On the other hand I have the body on frame, squared off two box design, longitudinal drivetrain, manually actuated transfer case and shifter, solid rear axles, drives big 4Runner. Both are blizzard pearl, both have black interiors, and both are Toyotas. The perfect yin and yang.

Now I just need a white Scion FR-S to replace the MINI and I'll have my wild card.

OMG

LOL

Now everything is starting to make sense. Okay, I get it now!

It should to a guy who owns an 8 yr. old car, and wants to hold off for another 8 years before they even consider a new vehicle. Toyota has you in mind when they're designing new vehicles (wait, is that sarcasm?).
 
I don't want to make you look too foolish here, but let me just say that my 4Runner isn't my only vehicle. Actually, it's more of my winter vehicle than anything else. My primary car is a new Audi that I purchased last year.

You've got a hard on for depreciating assets. Congrats.

Can you take a picture of a pile of money burning so I'm truly impressed.
 
you think you can pull your head out of your ass? Are you just envious he drives a nicer car than you? Or do you just like to talk **** on the internet?

lol!

A5 better than a new TE?? Me no think so. It isn't even the S.

And, no, I can't, and yes, I do.

I said nicer and yes it is, even the highest trim level 4Runner doesn't compare to the base model Audi trim. Trust me I own one and It may not be as reliable as a Toyota but the fit and finish and soft touch surfaces can't come close to Audi.
 
I didn't want the S5 because it's a naturally aspirated V8 and there's very little that can be done to it as far as engine mods. My A5 isn't a base model though. Its the Sport model and has the same size wheels & tires as the S5, as well as the same suspension, sport seats, etc.... Because it is lighter, it actually handles better and brakes better than the S5. As for the engine, I was able to easily upgrade with a simple turbo upgrade, dual exhaust system, and a custom tune that allows for 21 lbs of boost. As it sits right now, my car will run neck and neck with an S5, and it will still get more than 30 mpg on the highway. So yeah, it's exactly what I wanted and I'm very happy with it. I'd never compare it to any 4runner though, simply because it's not even a valid comparison. Those vehicles are nothing alike at all.

Ha! I would "like" what your dad drives, but for some reason, the option isn't there. No hate, just love. Only kicking you in the vag cause I know you're big boy, and can take it!

I wouldn't compare the 4Runner against a VW Group product either, there isn't one. I think Audi's give Subies a run for thier money for the official car of CO. They're like arseholes here. I'm not saying I wouldn't own one, but I would have to be related to a mechanic first. They're fun to drive, but so are mopeds.

Heck, I'll bet you spend time on Audi forums tooting about how much better the B8's are over the B7's! Because deep down, you know the B7's are superior. ;)
