More than anything, I want to know why Toyota didn't build that car a decade ago and flood the market, selling as many as they could manufacture.
I just tried out your calculator, for some reason I can't get it to work. The auto calculated numbers don't change when I change the options above.

With Edmunds TCO calculator I will take their numbers and make my own spreadsheet, then replace whataver I need to with my own numbers that I'm sure of, but using their assumptions for things I have no idea.
