I have been in the automotive industry for over 25 years. Toyota and Lexus (Toyota's Luxuary brand) have been at the top of the most reliable vehicle list year after year. For this reason alone Toyota as been the brand many of my clients purchase. As the most reliable brand Toyota's overall cost over the life of the vehicle is one of the best in the industry.

How would you feel about having to pay a monthly charge for certain vehicle options? You pay for your car however if you want those heated seats to work that will cost you $10 per month.

I heard rumors about manufactures considering this. Looks like it actually might be happening sometime soon.

How would you feel about paying $10, $20, or $100 per month to access features already built into your car? Some buyers are calling foul.

Interesting. I am sure there are conflicting evaluations, as there always seems to be. My question is......looking back, did we handle this correctly? Shutting down our economy and schools. Did our children come out the other side in a better or worse position. Did the media and government create fear and division that benefited their pocket books and power or did we "the people" benefit? Regardless, I hope we learn from our mistakes and wins and move forward as a better country
