 Perception is a funny thing. Thinking about the misconceptions some Californians have about Texas (the proliferation of people riding around on horses and wearing 10 gallon hats), and the misconception some Texans have about California (that it is going to fall into the ocean...especially after a bad earthquake).

Seriously though; the women here in Maine use pine cones to brush their hair. All Mainers say Cah, Pahk, Bahston, etc. All Mainers eat Lobstah and can speak French. We do all this for sure! The perceptions are totally dead on. Anyway, I digress. I am just a bit jaded with the big T right now especially when they try to generate excitement about their bland offerings. Why not just be straight up about appealing to only reliability and call it a day rather than perpetuate a farce. People will obviously still buy their vehicles and in droves.

My best friend (an American) first learned Swedish while studying the language in Lund (a city in the southern part of Sweden). He learned Riksvenska (the 'dialect of Stockholm' (Stockholm = not in the northern part of Sweden ) that is also the 'official dialect' of the Riksdag (the national legislature in Sweden). My best European friend is a Gothenburg/Goteborg native, and speaks with an upper class version of that particular local accent. The two of them used to get in arguments (laughing while they were arguing....but still competitive and stubborn) about which one was speaking 'proper Swedish'. Eventually, after his med school years in Lund, my best friend developed a local (Scania/Skane) provincial accent that is prevalent in the Lund/Malmo area (retained to this day...he lives in Copenhagen), and the debates stopped. However, my stubborn best friend never admitted that he was wrong way back when .
