Of course, we also own a 2000 Toyota Sienna minivan, so I'm half guilty.
As for pick-up trucks, I don't think I know anyone who drives one who doesn't work in a job where such a vehicle is necessary. I know plenty of people with pick-ups but they all do construction, electrical work, plumbing, painting, landscaping, etc. I can't think of anyone I know with an office job who drives a pick-up.

Mine is an old Toyota too. Finally...
I just wanted it to get me from A to B, to not consume a lot and to be what people call "reliable". I don't know anything else about cars, technically speaking. I let my husband pick. As for pick-ups, that's what I thought too. When work requires it, it would be a necessity, of course.
I just wonder whether this recession and the ever increasing oil prices will make the die-hard monster-car owners switch to smaller vehicles. To me, milage was one of the important criteria...
