Well, remember Toyota use to use the chevy straight 6 until, i think 1993.   Maybe they should go back to that policy.
Hahaha. I heard that burn sizzle.

On a related note, i believe Toyota more recently rebranded the Cavalier as a Corolla in Japan for a while.   They can't seem to get away from Chevy and maybe that's good thing.

Well don't try to hard folks, Chevy has had a new model of cargo van out, it's a miniature version of the G-body express vans. It's half as big, called a City Express and is actually a Nissan vehicle with Chevy badges.

Unless some one starts making a micro van with a diesel
There's no point in getting one

I see the ford transit connect micro vans everywhere
But ford sells a turbo diesel 5 speed in the rest of the world just not here

So their gas version gets about the same mpg as a Benz sprinter van
Most people I know with a sprinter get 20-22 mpg
Why get a tiny van when you can get a full size with the same mpg ?

Looks like a good way to get out of a parking ticket?

I recently replaced the #1 coil on the Avalon.
No BS. It took more time and effort than replacing the rear crank seal on my 350.
