They make their point, and it's truly sad that a company that builds lawnmowers is also building cars. I mean where are Toro cars at anyway?

Christ is right. The commercial was a cheap shot. Well engineered engines exist outside transportation. If GM had been doing "small" things like lawnmower engines and motorcycles, then they might have been able to accrue the skills needed to make small economy car production profitable. I would have less respect for Honda if they had abandoned their "origins" in the pursuit of the higher profit margin of "big" products like cars.
