the grocery store.

Toyota has announced that it will partner with the University of Mississippi to open a new manufacturing center about 50 miles outside of Tupelo. Dubbed the Center for Manufacturing Excellence, the new center will cost $22 million, which was included in a $293.9 million incentive ...

Prius Touring (CA)? Any package reccomendations for a commute car?  Are
these usually on the lot or due to the price of gas, are they back ordered 8

the more comfortable the ride.  How bad a hit on the MPG does the car take
when using 18" as opposed to 16" wheels/tires?
