Even in 05 my Dealer tried to push a Ford 500 down my throat, I didn't like it then, nor would I buy one now. I like the Panther, I like the way it handles, I like the way it feels, even the power isn't bad.
I am so tired of the Panther bashers and their arguments. If you do not like the cars buy something else, don't waste your time trying to convince me I need to buy something else...I LIKE THE PANTHER!! Now get off my back and join a Toyota forum.
