How much trouble can I get in if I’m just test driving a car or 2?

Yesterday DH and I decided to go test drive the Lexus RX hybrid, it was a beautiful brady wine color, and oh did it handle well.  I even went so far as to talk lease with the sales lady, but then DH reminded me we were going to  test drive the Toyota Highlander Hybrid as well.  So we put the sales lady at lexus on hold and went down the street to test drive the Highlander.  Very very nice ride, not quite as nice as the Lexus, but the cost of maintenance, the prepaid maintenance plan and the ride itself, well pretty much sold me on the Highlander.

I swear I was just going to talk price with them, had no plans on driving it off the lot.  Well…. I took this home last night

Toyota Highlander Hybrid, it has 3rd row seating in it!  and the 3rd row is big enough that it will sit 2 adults way more comfortably than the Civic did in the back seat.  3 zone climate control, that’s right the passenger and driver zones and a separate control for everthing behind the the front seats.  Built in back up camera and a few other bells and whistles, leather seats yada yada yada.  the only thing it doesn’t have in it is NAV, a rear audio system and a kitchen sink, oh yeah no table like the CR-V’s had.

Well DH and I took it for a little spin up to Bellingham today, and I am more in love with it than I was yesterday when I drove it off the lot.

    Pretty pretty! Congratulations on your new arrival! And, it has room for lots of people–that will be a plus for Black Sheep and other fiberfests!

    Nice! I’m thinking my next car (in maybe 10 years?) will have to be a hybrid and I didn’t know the Highlander came in a hybrid option. Will you please drive down and give me a ride?
