    Well, IMO, you will absolutely love the TCH XLE. It is a very comfortable car and it does grow on you. Wait until you take it on a long trip and realize "I've been driving for 3 hours and my back is not even sore". I find it very comfortable and so do the kiddies, no complaints from them whatsoever on the last 5 hour trip we took (only 2 stops :) )

    We are actually replacing a 2007 Hycam, so that may be contributing to my lack of excitement. :D However, I totally agree with what you are saying. My 2012 PIP with 8-way power seat is way more comfortable, and handles a heck of a lot better on the highway, than the 2004 Prius, but it is still nowhere near the restful ease of cruising down the highway in a Camry. Even just driving around town, the Camry will soak up the bumps a heck of a lot better than the Prius.

    They can, do and will trade within and "outside" the GST Group if they want to...I know first hand...but face time makes all the difference. The fact that you are happy with the arrangement you made however, makes this a mute point. Just trying to help. Hope you and your wife enjoy the new car.

    Good to know. I'll keep that in mind for the next time. After the trouble I had getting offers this time, there may be something to be said for going back to the old way of face to face communications! I was not going to press this particular dealer very hard, because I knew the owner. They just happened to offer the best price.
