That is some sweet sounding 4's ! Would have had no equal in the automotive world for that combination of price, acceleration, and fuel mileage.

Alas... not to be.
I'm quite happy Toyota is coming out with a car I can afford shortly after I graduate from college.

Instead of a car I wouldn't have the pleasure of driving off the lot brand spankin' new, unless it was a huge success and was around for 10+ years.

Be nice to have both, obviously.
