Technically it's a "Pontiyota", but who's counting? (Vibe twin is made in the same GM/Toyota joint plant in California where the Corolla/Prism once shared assembly lines) I just rented an xR automatic on a long trip and was very pleased with it. I'll do an official write-up later, but I was able to manage the low 30's with nearly all highway driving: great handling and seating, but the gearing seemed to be off and it shifted too much. I still consider it a good choice for FE and utility.
