    The staff lot at dealerships tells all. Local Chevy dealership has a small fleet of Toyota and Hondas parked around back in the staff lot. The adjacent Subaru and Toyota dealerships seem to have kept it in house respectively.

    Its funny. I feel like the auto market is divided into 2 camps: 1. Those that are in the "Big 3" realm and refuse to even entertain the thought of one of them "foreign" brands and 2. Those with the voice of reason that drive Toyotas / Honda based on reliability and resale value, but are at least open to the idea of buying a "domestic" vehicle




























    And then there's 3rd gen owners that hate their trucks but stay in them anyways. :rofl: :crapstorm:
