Wow - I coulda had a Sequoia!

Toyota announced pricing for the 2008 Sequoia, $34,835 (which includes delivery). Two and half times the size of a 135i, two and half times less fun. ; -) That's a lot of sheet metal and glass for $35K.

You mean no fun..these trucks (SUVs) are basically the replacement for the vans of the past.

There are lots of people who price their cars by the pound. Who cares if they're technologically outdated, overweight, inefficient pigs (the cars, not the buyers), they're BIG and that must mean it's OK to pay more for them.

PS -- I think big trucks have a legitimate place in the market. I'm just amused by size queen buyers.

Hugo, that is too funny!! I was thinking the EXACT same thing today. I wish I needed that car. It seems so nice. I believe I read it has 19 cupholders. WTF! Those at leftlanenews think it looks hideous. I actually love how it looks.

It will probably get 12 to 13 mpg in city driving.
