    Do you remember how it felt the very first time you engaged cruise
    control? That momentary sense of no longer being in control, that the
    car had assumed command? That's how Toyota's new crawl mode in the
    2008 Land Cruiser feels at first. You select the function, take your
    foot off the brake, and the car proceeds under its own management.

    Of course, in crawl mode (which functions only in low range) the new
    Cruiser moves forward very slowly-there are three speed choices on a
    rotary switch in the dash, and none of them is faster than a walking
    pace. The cool trick is that the vehicle will maintain that pace
    through thick and thin, adding power to get the truck over big moguls
    and using the traction control and downhill assist to negotiate holes
    and grades. All you need to do is steer.

    There's one other thing to do besides steer: make sure you have a
    friend with a Jeep along to pull your sorry piece of overpriced Toyota
    out when it gets stuck...

    Does that include the Sebring coupe (made by Mistubishi)?

    Only if he trades another vehicle. Otherwise he's just a buyer.

    I'm born in California. Sorry 'bout that. Not American.


    Que es "american"? Yo no hablo "american" - yo hablo ingles.

    (Just in case you're curious - there is no "American", and we in the United
    States have no official language.)
    Um, yeah. Let's see:

    My "American" 1999 Chrysler Sebring has a Mitsubishi-sourced engine.

    My "American" 2005 Saturn Vue has a Honda engine.

    My "American" 2006 Chevy Avalanche was completely assembled in Sinaloa
    Mexico.


    Your point?


    HTH!

    HAND!
