    Bought this beauty on Saturday. My first new vehicle, after driving a 2002 Olds Bravada for 240k miles. Was a GM guy, so shopped Colorado, Canyon, and Tacoma. Really liked the new Colorado, lot of bells and whistles, smooth ride. They made it a tough decision. Also wanted to wait to see the 2016 Tacoma, but couldn't hold out any longer after A/C compressor failure, exhaust manifold, and steering issue all hit at the same time in the Bravada. So after several weeks of deliberation, shopping, research, settled on the Toyota. Dependability the main selling point, better pricing, built in my hometown (San Antonio, TX), plus my fiance told me I looked "hot" driving it. Looking forward to getting help from this forum. I lived on "Trailvoy.com" for ten years to help me work on the Bravada.

    I guess it's not technically an "import" if it's made in San Antonio, huh? You know what I mean, though. First non-'Mericun vehicle.

    I really dig the wheels. Mine are the same style but all black. Grown on me, but yours seem a little less common. Congrats on your whole life right now.
