Of course we knew this, but it's great to see it in print. Thanks!

Yep. Since 1974, we've been driving them at our house. But then we knew
Toyota was doing something right, when I started getting cussed out at work
years ago for driving one of them 'Furrin' cars. (And then they had the
unmitigated gall to tell me VW was an AMERICAN car?)

Agreed. It's nice to see that some journalist are past the bigotry
and emnity towards a manufacturer who is only trying to do things the
proper way. I supposed it's to be expected that there will always be
those that try to beat you when you're the best. No better way to
paint a bull's eye on your back.

Yup - it's too bad people can't just admire rather than despise you when
you're at the top.

LOL - it's a sickness. We English language nerds are very compulsive. I
have to really hold back with some of the stuff I see on message boards - I
don't mean typos, I mean really sad grammar and typing.

:-)

Natalie, who corrects her children's English teachers' mistakes...

:-) I only mentioned it, because I saw somebody on here
correct someone else two weeks ago for spelling
pedantic "peNdantic"--a tendency to want to wear pendants, I suppose.
:)

The humorous thread was "where are cars manufactured."

:-) Sorry Viper K.
