toyota is like a japanese buick (or olds... remember those? lol) to me so i dont like them at all. hahahahaha. i hate the US toyota lineup.

so this leaves me with only a few choices for MT's and hatch. i dont want to get another Fit. my other choices would be a Golf/Cooper.

yep, im not selling my Z any time soon, but i save up for my cars in the background. i expect to keep my Z for at least 8-10yrs like how ive been keeping my G. my G still looks brand new.
