It's that way everywhere man...If you took that mentality, then you might as well stop eating out at restaurants, shopping at grocery stores....etc. Because NO top Exec knows how to deliver a properly prepared dish, or scan grocery items at the check out. But what they know how to do is "manager/business" talk to where it relates to whom they are speaking to.
Agreed Dragon. Anyway, Jack Hollis is actually very genuine about the brand and the FR-S. Jack is a pretty cool guy and always supports us, on the dealer side, to the best of his ability. People don't know this but Akio Toyoda really wants Scion to stick around. However Toyota loses money on Scion. Because of the pure price, and low profit margin, Toyota is taking a hit because of the Yen's value. The fact that they are still going forward and trying to instill "passion" in the line is great thing.
