No article clipping here, this is also my passion. I love cars and I always keep my ear to the market to see where new things are coming from. I love the competition because that sparks creativity. Much of what you say is true and I agree with it.

The full size truck market is still and will be dominated by the domestics, sorry but that is how it will be. Toyota has the only real contender from outside the red. white, and blue. Toyota's biggest obstacle here will be getting the full size truck market to leave their loyalties behind them. Most guys who buy and drive full size trucks are brand loyal no matter the quality. I can assure you that most people purchasing trucks will not pony up the extra cash to buy a toyota when they can buy a loaded GMC, Chevrolet, or Ford for the same price. Dodge trucks suck (with the execption of their diesel trucks equipped with the cummins engine) and their full mileage is terrible which is why I left them out.

By pointing out that the euros were more expensive to own I was not saying that this fact alone makes them inferior to the domestics, just less friendly on the middle class consumer market. Socal is there biggest market because salaries are so much higher there and they sell them for around the same price as they do everywhere else.

I agree with you on the facts about domestics refusing to improve their platforms and just throwing new body work on the same shit chassis they already have. I'm sure that some of the Americans would have put some of their concepts into production had it not cost so much to pay people to build them. General Motors alone had 2.4 people making retirement pensions for every 1 person they had working before the big restructuring. That's a hard pill to swallow if you already have tight profit margins.

+rep for you for being able to have a debate and not getting bent out of shape. Also, thanks for arguing with a informed and educated opinion instead of a dickhead arrogant attitude like those so often found on internet forums.
