Profiles in Lust: the New Vehicle

Oh wow…

I’ve been thinking of getting a new car this year. And yes, I want a sport utility vehicle. However, I was trying to look for the safest vehicle with the best mileage. The Subaru Forester is getting great reviews, as is the Toyota Highlander. I’m approved for a 35k loan (which I don’t want to use all of). However, on Toyota’s web site today, they announced that in 2005, they’ll be coming out with a hybrid Highlander. It can go 600 miles on one tank o’ gas. I think one of their models has effectively 270 hp.

I think I’ll have to wait for a bit before I get my next car. Which is fine, I don’t need one right away, at least yet. I’ve had my Toyota Corolla for nearly 9 years, come March. It’s got 130,000 miles on it.

A hybrid SUV would be excellent! I love the look of them but have always hated the gas mileage.

My dad emailed me the other day to tell me that his Toyota Corolla (FX-16, but I have no idea what year it is) just turned over 200,000 miles. My goodness.
