[QUOTE=1956MarkII]Didn't we, as a country, say pretty much the same thing back in the late 60's? "The little Corolla might get really good mileage, but that company will NEVER compete with a real American car like a Galaxie..." If there's anything we learned in 30 years, it's this: don't EVER underestimate Toyota. A good portion of the passenger-car market that Ford has lost in the past 5 years went to them.[/QUOTE
1956MarkII I agree fully with your statment, I made some similar comments on one of the other 07 Toyota discussions. One comment was SCREW TOYOTA. Guys like you and I where around when these things took place in the 70s, I'm sure a large percentage of people on this board weren't even born. So they will have to see it for themselves, (hopefully not). The younger generation doesn't care what we know, that's why this country many times keeps repeating it's mistakes. We were no different.

Ridgeline's not a truck, it's a minivan in trucks clothing. I wouldn't trust it with ten pounds more than it's load max. And with an "in bed trunk" it can't have a large load capacity. I"m with rboe on this one. The imports are advertising to those that want to sit high and look big and tough, but probably won't ever take the truck off road, or tow or haul anything of merit. Maybe to take the jetski's out for a while (don't get me started on jetskis) The imports aren't the greatest with the power ranges either. In a truck, torque is king, especailly at lower ranges. Last I checked the titan and the toy didn't ahve this in mind when tehy made the truck. And that tundra commercial where they overload the bed with whatever it is and say that the ford can't take it. Man that gets me mad. I mean you shouldn't load something that high without tying it down anyway, so neither truck can handle it. Ok time to get off the soapbox.
