I'm out.

Whatever......I never said you were wrong, I just asked you to prove your point. Your last sentence seems to imply that no link re a statement from Toyota would be available because Toyota would never make such a statement because the statement (your assertion) is so obvious/self-evident. If you had to 'go into the weeds', so to speak to prove your point then so be it. I have a thick skin. It wouldn't have bothered me if you had gone over my layman's (on this subject) head. If you had done so then someone else on Yarisworld (someone WAY, WAY, WAY beyond my level of knowledge) could have critiqued your answer. The resulting discourse WOULD LIKELY HAVE EDIFIED ALL OF WE LAYMEN. It would seem to me that the only reason you wouldn't put forth a more 'in the weeds'/technical explanation is that you think you might be proven wrong. I can't imagine that you would hold back just because you think you might offend me, especially when one of your last statements involves asserting that you have 'extensive knowledge'.

One thing we can probably ALL agree on is our general faith in U.S. Spec vehicles that Toyota has exported from Japan to the United States....and most of us can probably agree on our faith in the built in Japan U.S. spec Yaris as a subset of that larger whole.
