So..."We don't know wtf we're doing, but we can put other peoples' ideas into our cars and sell it to you."

Kind of a ripoff of the BASF commercials.

We don't make the products you use, we make the products you use better or something........

I got 2 BASF dolls for picking out which was real leather and which was fake, they make the fake stuff. Was that yearly SAE convention in Detroit, we went as part of our schooling.

No, I'm enjoying Toyota's failure too much.

"Ignore that man behind the curtain." Toyota is going to have to steal Morton salt's motto, When it rains, it pours.

Now we know what that ball of kids being towed behind the Prius in the commercial is....the emergency brake.

I can see a headline now. A woman plowed through a farmers market today injuring several people when she intended to stop and buy some organic fruit. She stated that she could not stop her Prius due to brake falure. F'n hippies...

Well, they ARE at least being sued by a few people. I'm just happy to see the playing field being leveled.
