You are absolutely correct in your assumption, and I feel the same way, but it is what it is in the car business. and in South Florida the following hasn't been since the hurricanes of 91, 04 & 05. When I was a little boy growing up in South Florida these words meant something

Thoughtfulness, Respect, Give & Take, Kindness, Customer Service, Neighbors.

Now they are words only recognized in other parts of the state. All of my friends buy their Toyota's 150-250 miles north and west of Palm Beach County, where those words ring true.
