Review: I'm pleased to know that my 07 Jeep sports a German green diesel.A Jeep with a German tank ruggedness. Consumer Review dont even mention improvements over the years. Happy to drive for 10 years a 99 Grand Cherokee with like new feeling. Patended frame with 60% more body stiffness than competition. AMC-Renault design with all the respect to Jeep authenticity and design.

Review: i think that your comment is terrible, maybe you should look beyond articles in the BW just a thought. And Toyota did reduce emissions nice try though (auto channel). i can see right through your bias, get a life.

Review: To David Welch: You wonder why GM is having difficulty regaining market share? Try to access a Chevrolet Colorado, base model, truck from the passenger side. You can't; the base model has neither a remote entry nor a keyhole for a key. We bought a 2005 Colorado on June 3, 2005. Since then we've been battling to have some sort of keyhole put in the passenger door so I can get into the truck without my 77-year-old husband climbing through from the driver side and unlocking the door for me. Finally, last week the Shreveport Times asked Chev about this anomaly. Ramage found out in August GM will begin manufacturing a key cylinder to solve this inaccessible door problem. No word yet on who will pay for the part and the installation labour charges.

Review: This type of attack on Toyota is unwarranted and ridiculous. Toyota has plans to offer hybrid technology in all cars within the next few years and they spent millions on developing hybrid technology while the Big 3 laughed and said it was a waste. Toyota is forced to enter thr big truck market because that is what consumers want and are asking for. Remember, they tried the smaller trucks for the past 20+ years!!! Someone in the posting said Toyota = job loss. Toyota employs 37,000+ in this country, has 8 plants, and 500 suppliers. Get your facts straight.

Review: As far as I am concerned, it is due time that someone outed Toyota for what they are. They cannot have it both ways. It is good that they are putting money into fuel efficiency, but so are the domestic companies. Don't be hoodwinked by the slick marketing of Toyota, do the research.

Review: Hybrids are nothing but a slick marketing ploy. First, no one considers the environmental damage the batteries may cause. Second, even with gas at $3 a gallon it would still take many, many years to earn back the initial investment. Third, batteries don't last forever. If it cost $50 bucks to replace the batteries in an iPod or $100 for a laptop battery what does it cost to replace a hybrid's batteries? (Thousands of dollars for those of you who are curious). If you want to be "green" you would simply buy a car that is smaller and gets better gas mileage such as an Aveo. Of course, then you don't get the honor of being in the "those who fell for the hybrid" club.

Review: This is a ridiculous article. What place does it have in a business magazine? Considering the ads mentioned here, its hard to say Toyota is misleading anyone. What about all the ads from Chevy with all the Americanism thrown in, while trying to push 'recreational' and 'macho' trucks that get around 10 MPG? Need I remind you of the retirement benefits that GM is about to deprive of its loyal workers? If someone wants to buy a 400 HP vehicle, she is going to get it one way or another. If they are about to plunk down $60,000 on a luxury SUV they are not going to back out because of low MPG. For such buyers having a hybrid SUV is more about style and statement, and there the green image that Toyota projects helps them sell SUVs as well as keep our fuel consumption low. Its a win-win for buyers, Toyota and the environment. Besides, Toyota is not a charity, its a car company. You can't accuse them of trying to manufacture vehicles and giving people what they want.

Review: How about Toyota's claim that they are "adding" jobs to the US economy? Why doesn't anyone question all of their advertising about that. Isn't it in reality that Toyota eliminates two jobs for every job it creates?

Review: You and the bluewater network have it all wrong. Toyota does deserve the title of green for being the ones to pioneer hybrid technology and having the highest MPG of any full line manufacturer. What would you have them do, stop selling profitable but low mileage vehicles and not be able to develop green technologies due to a lack of funds?
