On the other hand, there isn’t a car maker out there right now that can afford to stumble over something as simple as power windows. If Toyota can roll out $15,000 Scion xDs without a hint of trouble, your $50,000 cat should provide mile after mile of carefree motoring. Here’s to staying true to your past.
