The TL is longer than the 2008-2013 Highlander.
I guess 2cm is a really big thing when you have to add 2ft to your garage. ROFL. I still think the whole size thing as justification for "back to basics" is a lame excuse. have you ever thought about usable space inside? 
Then it's about the useability of the TL, not "But the TL is a really big car that's a bitch to park because of the turning radius." That's a lame excuse!
That's where Risky isn't being honest. He should really tell us what's really going on:
1 - Need an SUV or Minivan for the wife since a kid is on the way
2 - Need a shitbox to drive to work since I can't afford 2 new cars.
That's what I think is really going.
"Back to basics".. pffftt! Only mid life crisis guys buying old British roadsters use the "back to basics" justification for those cars.

who cares about the reasoning why he wants to change the TL. for all that matters he could not like they way a side mirror looks like it's his problem why he wants to get rid of it, you're just acting like a nosy woman and want to get into his personal details or his pants. let's face it, it doesn't take much money to go lease two brand new cars tomorrow.
it's obvious that risky takes good care of the TL, and what he's asking is what kind of car he should get to not give a fuck about. try to keep up.

Keep the Matrix as a daily beater and sell/trade the TL in for a smaller car or cute-ute. Even a cheaper Civic or Tucson comes with all sorts of safety tech, cameras and sensors.
If I had a kid along with the wife, Id want them driving something reliable and safe regardless if she might bang it up or mistreat it. You never know, the safety tech and gear might make her a safer driver. My wife loves all the tech gear in her MDX.

Nice (auto or manual?) - was looking for one of those to replace the 5 series, but ended up with one of these (pic is not of my car but mine looks exactly like that one - including the rims)

4age, is that photo from East York?
Those bungalows and a 2 story remind me of my teardown and rebuild a few years ago.

Dennis you bought the old X1? Did you test drive them back to back, the new one is so much better
Wasn't interested in getting anything new. The 5 was dying and was more into dumping it.
This one still have 1 year original warranty and 2 year CPO.
Drove this one and I liked it. Though the new one looks nice
New one only comes with 28i. Mine is a 35i.

I tried to go back to basics, hoping to get a Jetta or something for a rental this weekend.
Ended up in a CLA250 4Matic. 
What a turd.

The baby was not on board.

I had one, then had the same thought as you so I took it off, then more assholes started to tail me, including cops, going at the speed limit on the right lane. When the kid is sleeping in the car, I take my time going to my destination... if I arrive earlier, I would just idle in the parking lot until he wakes up from his nap. I'm going to buy another sign hopefully people would back off.

not preaching
its not about safety not responsibility ...its about priority if there was an emergency.
i don't give a shit about me if...
for fuk sakes; you can use the word pinnacle but cannot see that?
you have an unborn baby. i will leave it at that.
