Oh really? Glad to know I want brake problems.
This turned up in my mail on Saturday. Inside was a shiny brochure about their hybrid vehicles. Don’t you think Toyota should have put off this print campaign until after they fixed their cars?

Today’s Stupidity Award goes to Jim Coleman Cadillac, which is trying to lure Toyota Prius owners into trading in their energy-efficient hybrids for new cars that average 15-20 mpg. The supposed hook? “$1,000 over Kelley Blue Book fair value.”
Anyone who thinks that Prius and Cadillac buyers are interchangeable is clearly delusional. And doesn’t have even a passing acquaintance with market research. Of course, this is the same outfit whose repair shop “lost” my front license plate a couple of years back.
But, take heart Coleman Cadillac, your letter wasn’t a complete waste of money. Thanks for reminding me that my 2001 Prius is a hot commodity. I’ll keep it mind if and when I decide to trade it in–for another hybrid.
