No, probably too small for the average American
(I read the Auris wasn't available at all, but the Matrix is used instead).

That's the one!
And they had one in the showroom... I want one! I've always loved the lines of the car, since they introduced it in 2007. And with a full hybrid drive, it's almost irresistible, except that I'd have to pay for it somehow...

Plus my mother is scary in a lot of other unfunny (euphemism) ways. (I aim to make it her problems, though, because I've already done more than a daughter is supposed to do, or any other person including a therapist should- quoting the Beatles, with a little help from my friend, but little help means that the most of one's problem is, sadly, one's). So, uhm, I hope not!
On the other hand, I can see the point  with all the great hugging families we got here, mother-dependance is often an obligated reality. EW. (and I've learned to keep away from mommy's boys too  ) |
Am I glad I never had such a mother/daughter relation. My mother was simply always available when the need was there, but not pushy. Makes a much healthier relationship, I think!
