If Toyota keeps denying this in the form of ignoring it, sales will continue to drop.

Dude! JUST GO AWAY!
I am sick of your back and forth shit and know I am not alone.
I am not even going to bother countering your blatantly stupid comments anymore.

And there we have it, folks. He's nothing but a troll and a child. He can't answer on his own how to fix the supposed problem he claims exists. And when faced with first hand experience and facts, as well as an explanation as to what needs to be done to help increase the Twins' sales, he doesn't want to hear it.

I don't think they will since even though the biggest troll here and obviously a total moron (and probably a 14 year old) he has broken no rules!

Yes, in theory that would be great but we all know that some just won't do that and they will just keep feeding his ego and entertain him.
If I believed for even one second, that he has ever had a car I would check the other forums to see what he had to say about us there (a la Twin4Life) but don't think he has so not gonna waste the time.

Like a cockroach, he'll just keep coming back anyways. He firmly believes that an internet article is factual evidence in comparison to what I have experienced first-hand. On top of that, after explaining what can be done to increase sales and improve market awareness of the brand and its products when he can't even provide a possible solution to the problem he claims to exist, instead opting to respond like a child covering their ears and saying "blah blah blah." He's given a substantial response to provide to his "discussion," and his response is "blah blah blah"? That's engaging in constructive dialogue, alright.

Yes and I don't know what class he learned "ad hominem" in but he really likes to use it to try and sound intelligent since it has popped up about 20 times in his passive aggressive statements of "fact".
I am just really embarrassed that I supported him in his "trading Mustang" thread as now I have been played as a fool (I can do that on my own thank you very much).

I know I've seen the button for it somewhere before, but I can't seem to track it down. The manual approach works just as well
