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.

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. > "C. E.
