This explains why I have mysterious stains pop up here and there over time and why leather's resilience might fit my lifestyle better. I am not into owning another SUV if I can help it and will likely have to change how my car gets used as well. Sorry for the thread digression, I am not really a slob, just use my current car like a truck and am hoping the new Camry with a little resilience can fit my needs.

Actually, I wish that Ford, Chevy, or Toyota *would* make a light or medium-duty hybrid pickup truck. There's no reason why a truck the size of an S10 or a Ranger couldn't get low 40's if the engine was designed efficiently and paired to a decent hybrid architecture (IMA or HSD; BAS is not powerful enough). Besides, if you used it for camping, a 154v system (or higher) could certainly power the gadgets you can't live without!
Hope is like a candle held against the night.
