This is usually a good indicator of whether or not a company is reputable, believe it or not... real companies go through several channels to get their advertising out there, as well as PR materials, etc... someone would catch all those mistakes and they'd be fixed before the company had an embarrassing moment on a national level.

Think about that, everyone, the next time you look at something like this.

Without proof, I don't believe it, and I'm sure many others here feel the same.

Data, please.

If you think it will happen, you'll manufacture the result.

So far, all you're doing is perpetuating a claim that none of us can see as being accurate.
I rest my case.

I'm also raising question as to what the intentions of this "Scion-Guys" character really are, considering not a single other post than in this thread, and the person has already been caught in a lie (first, they have two vehicles covered, then one is a control).

There has been no evidence that this person really even has access to the cars he's talking about, and he's perpetuating a rumor that's been proven scientifically on X number of levels to be false, without ANY data to back it up, let alone the scientific end of things. In my mind, this raises serious "Troll" flags.

I just thought I'd throw that in for everyone else's consideration, as it's just my opinion, and well, I'm obviously not sysad on this forum, so it might really mean a little bit of nothing.
