Please reply to the original poster. I'm not trying anything. Why would I?

I only put aluminum foil hats on. Stop all the alien radio waves.

The Volvo has a metal key.

Even if you don't believe about the aliens, it's still a good idea to line your hat with foil. That way, you always have some if you ever need it.

I suppose that I did get you mixed up with someone else, but if he is following the thread, he should see my suggestion anyway. It's certainly not worth my time to track him down. I just tried to re-load the prior messages, but either retention quota on this NG has been exceeded, or the OP is in my kill-file. Either obviates my need to seek further.

Page 15 and 16 of your Pacifica owners manual.

I am *planning* on buying a new car in late December and the one I want has all those bells and whistles on it like yours and Ed's. Also, the 'evil' key fob as well. But I have read so much about the car I want, dozens (I'm not kidding) videos and reviews, too, that I almost feel like I could get a job at the dealership and sell the car.

I certainly hope Tekkie can read. Check your owner's manual. Pages 12 and 15 specifically. Your remote fob contains and emergency key so you can open the driver's door and also lock the glove compartment. If you're speaking about starting the car (if you have the push button start) keep reading the manual. Most likely if the battery to the fob is weak or. . . you will find that holding the fob to the start button will get you going.

Hopefully the pen name "Tekkie" was not adopted to suggest that you are technically proficient in, ah, er, anything

I wanted to buy a 2018 Toyota, but they changed the design and it is butt ugly. Decided to get the 2017. It is missing a couple of things I wanted,but they do not offer some of them in the only version that has the V6 in it. Had to get the leather seats and hate them. Also could not find one in the color we wanted with the lane and back up warnings.

This just seemed like a good time to trade as there is zero financing for 7 years. I could pay for it now, but why not make about 3 to 5 thousand off of the money if the stock market keeps going up. Did not have to trade as the car we had only had about 32,000 miles on it, but was 10 years old. Someone is going to get a very nice used car.

I really hate it that I can not order a car sort of like I want to. I remember getting one in 1972 and could add many things by waiting about a month. They quit doing that years ago.

Doesn't make much sense to buy a vehicle that doesn't have the amenities you want, seats you don't like, color you didn't want, etc... Sounds like an impulse buy to me.

It is just like any mass produced item. There are only so many choices and one has to compromise on them. As the V6 was at the top of the list, I had to get leather seats, there was no way not to and stay with the Camra. Just as I went with the 2017 as the 2018 is butt ugly and they will probably make that for the next 3 or 4 years. I did like the color.

My wife really like the Corolla, but they do not offer a V6 in it.

It was not an impulse buy. We even took the car home overnight to give it a test ride and look before buying. Checked the internet and that was the only Toyota with in 50 miles that was even close to what we wanted.

They have it down pat for efficient production. Basic, mid, fully loaded. Sure, you want one item from the next package up but you have to buy six items in the package.

Does not bother me because the cars I buy have it all. Not the best value, but I like the goodies. If pure economics of transportation drove my choice of car buying it would be a 2 year old Shitbox with low miles. Instead, I have a full sized premium with the Ultra package.

The emergency key is used to pop the cover off the pushbutton start, where you can insert the emergengy key to start the engine.

Unless you both weigh 400 lbs or you want to tow a trailer, you don't NEED a V6

Not every car on the lot is on the internet - sometimes your dealer will do a "dealer trade" with a dealer even out of your "zone" to get you what you want.

Luckily we never see car rust in AZ unless it's come here from some other part of the country.

We came across a similar problem. There was no car in the color we wanted that was the exact model we wanted and had the exact features we wanted. Our dealership did find two, one in Florida and the other in Iowa. Neither of those dealerships were willing to agree to transport to AZ. Ready to walk out and call it quits, the general manager of our dealership called the factory and discussed it with someone there. The end result was that the factory punched in all the specs for the exact car we wanted and put it into the production line. We've been told delivery should be 4-5 weeks maximum.

Sometimes you do win.

Up here in the "interlaken" area of central Ontario more cars rust out than wear out - even with the much better rust resistance of today's cars, Not NEARLY as bad as it used to be though.

The essence of the "copo camaro"

The last Toyota I bought I originally ordered to my preferences and it would take a couple of months for delivery. I went home and thought about it that night and called the dealer the next day to find out what he had available there and then. That was in March 2011 and the model I wanted was manufactured in Japan. I wasn't sure Japan was going to be around long enough to build any cars. I would much rather have a standard transmission and 'arrest me red' isn't my favorite color but it's been a good ride.

No key fobs, no lane warning, no electric windows, no backup cameras, no nuttin'. Someday when i get old I might want that stuff. Of course I said that about baggers too. Going on '70 and none of the bikes in the driveway are baggers. I don't think it's going to happen.

did like the color.

With only 32,000 miles on a car, I did not need to trade it either.

I just wanted to and the V6 was just a want,not a need. Just as I wanted a red car. After all, paint is just paint, especially if the car is kept in a garage most of the time like mine is.

Speaking of towing a trailer, Toyota does not recommend using the Camry to tow a trailer of any size.

I did a quicl look at the Hondas, and the small and mid size cars did not seem to even offer a v6. Just a 4 and a turbo 4. I don't care for the turbos on a street car.
