I take it you'd rather Ford screwed them?

These people were *perfectly* satisfied with their previous Toyoa (Honda in
some cases), and they're paying what they consider a reasonable amount of
money for a car they like, which they want and in which they have
confidence.

Just how are they screwing themselves?

Whomever they are they apparently did not want to buy another Toyota for
some reason.

Really? How odd, then, that they have no Toyotas for sale at the local
Chevy dealer. That's the place to go, though, if you're looking for a
brand-new '06 Chevrolet; they still have quite a few. Even a few brand-new
'05's, if you're interested.

If I wanted a large vehicle - and could afford it, I think I'd get a Lexus.
Or *maybe* an Acura.
