Thread Name: BS: GM sells Hummer to Chinese?
Subject: RE: BS: GM sells Hummer to Chinese?
Nearly all cars sold in Alberta and Saskatchewan and NWT are fitted with block heaters; including the FJ. Not ever having experience with them, I only know what I have read. Problems included windshield cracking in winter, cold interior, poor access for rear seat passengers. On the other hand, I don't know anyone (several people I know have them as a second car) with complaints about Toyota RAV models, made by the same company.

Toyota's losses are cited in all financial articles; the figures came out last week. Don't take my word; read the news and you shall learn. I linked Bloomberg, but NY Times, Financial Times, etc., have the same story. The BBCnews financial segments are one of the best for capsule information; internet as well as cable.
