On my way to work I see all kinds of big ass pickups parked in folks yards with for sale signs on them. I never could figure out why folks buy F350, Diesel, Super Duty, 4X4 pickups and never haul anything other then groceries in the back.

True. But I never see any more than one person in a Yaris either (and I'm starting to see a bunch of 'em -- along with priuses) that can comfortably seat four. If there was a smaller car with better mileage just to haul my ass around, I would have bought it. Assuming, of course, it was the well designed, high quality, car the Yaris already is. :)
