True, but I've got 9 yrs left of my 40s. I'm just getting started.

I'll be trading my 07 TCH in on a fusion powered 2 seater sports convertible with autodrive and high speed wireless Internet with LCD windshield / TV monitor

To each their own, I s'pose. I can't wait until I finish paying off my mortgage. But that won't be for another 28 years or so...

At least the TCH will keep me company for a good portion of that time. Perhaps by then they'll have a Camry that runs on water!

Not meaning to pry, Orcrone (well sort of)... how old are you? Will you be raising or lowering the average age of TCH Owners (and potentials).

Current average is now: 36.1

Oops sorry Orcrone, I didn't catch it on your previous post (46).

Avg: 37.0

GM has not come out with a hybrid yet. When they do customers will have the tax credit available to them, while Toyota buyers may not. Of course, IRS rules are always changing so there's a chance that Congress could extend them.

BTW, my wife and I are 46 (but she's a very young 46)
I could be wrong, but when I checked on Toyota's sales figures back in May, it looked like they had already sold about 80,000 hybrids at that time (around May 15th). The web site may have had flawed data, I suppose.

What is your source for the 60,000th being sold this week?

I read an article online earlier this week that claimed that they sold the 60,000 on June 5. I think I found the link in a thread on this board. But I'm sorry I don't have the link available. Nor do I know if the info was accurat.

OK I'll help up the average...I'm 49 and I'm picking up my TCH today. I really don't know how 25 year olds can afford a $28,000 car!! I've been driving my 1993 Camry for 13 years (still reliable with 165,000 miles) so I haven't had a car payment in a long time!

Congrats on the car, Green!

Perhaps some of us mid-20-somethings have been blessed or are just lucky. For me, I'm grateful for something called equity and that prices of homes in Southern California are so inflated.

Average age including GreenHawaii and stevenvillatoro is now:
38.2.

Y'know, this is almost on par with the TCH's average MPG!
