It should be a nice car to have if it can handle a slight chill. Let's hope it does!

"Oh well some people never learn the American Engineering is the best in the world. We taught toyota how to build cars. Greg" - Same type of thinking from a recent past GM president that nearly sank GM. Read up on GM's history please. It was however the Japanese that refined the manufacturing process, especially Toyota. Thats why all manufactures have their own implementation of TPS Toyota Production System. Sure they took US Ideas, but they are the ones that got it together to set the facts straight. I work in manufacturing and there is plenty of literature about this. Remeber NUMMI ? GM learning from Toyota ? Design is one aspect, but refining of design for manufacture & the manufacturing processes are another. Please remember that there are OTHER countries than the USA. They also do have clever people which benifits all of us world wide in progress. Never look down on people, learn from them it may save your job & your factory where you work. #62 Yeah Right …. ?
