An odd experience

Our children have soundly condemned our plans to look at the Toyota Scion as the replacement for our VW. (The VW has earned our displeasure because of high dealer costs for parts and maintenance and the fact that it doesn’t get the best mileage.)

But what I find really odd is the fact that they can only mention how strange it looks as the reason for their disapproval. No technical reasons are given; why is that?

For myself, I have some misgivings because of the fact that everything costs “extra”. Oh, there are quite a few standard features included in the base price…and the maintenance/service costs are quite low, but I hate being nickle and dimed for extra’s like an arm rest.
