    Good!

    Wake me up when they show up at local, Huntsville dealers. I'll drive one of my EVs over to take a test drive.

    I remember when major automakers used to get me excited about their newest cars and in a matter of months I'd be seeing people everywhere driving those cars. It seems quite the opposite with Toyota these days. I've maybe seen four 2023 Prius total in the past year in the three west coast states. Doesn't make sense that they announce cars that no one is able to buy? How is that a business plan that can sustain itself?

    I am in an EV friendly place so I have seen many Gen 5s both private and car share examples.

    Out here on the west coast used car dealers are still getting $16K for used Gen3... Hybrids and EVs are wildly popular out here, but hard to find one so price is extreme.

    I see new cars that have end up being everywhere. For an example, it seems like one in four cars I see any more is a new Ford Bronco.

    While I appreciate the Bronco, sadly I'm not interested, and the kinds of cars I'm interested in no one else is. And as a result, manufacturers keep making less and less of the cars I like. In fact, the car I own now is no longer even made (the Toyota Avalon, and it wasn't exactly what I wanted either.)
