Yeah there's a lot there, but it can't touch Ohio. Seems like over half the state is corn.

Did a round trip to Strathroy and was following the snow plows on the 401 until london. After 500km of constant driving, (a goodly portion while behind the snow plows) i'm pining for the Yaris's fuel consumption. The Yaris would have done the round trip and gotten 6.8L/100km, while my RAV4 only got 9.5L/100km.

But wow, what a difference in ability when handling the snow. Granted, the snow tires on my Yaris wasn't the vaunted Nokian, but the difference when compared to the RAV4 was night and day. The traction control system on that RAV4 really shines when equipped with some good snow tires (Yokohama). Toyota knows how to make a good traction control system on an awd car...

Now the question is, when are they going to give us a awd Yaris!

don't really see too many corn fields around here, then again I am in one of the bigger cities in Ohio...... but out side the cities there is nothing but corn and soybeans
