Oh. So you really knew the TT was a VW product; but posted contrary anyway?

There is a difference between us. I don't know something without a long list of supporting facts. Soundbytes are sufficient reasoning for you.

Meanwhile, marketing of the same car under two different nameplates is curious. Curious are those who think one is superior to the other. Using feelings to *know* works on many people. I never could understand why so many want to be taken. Why would anyone know without first learning facts and numbers? And yet so many routinely do that even when facts are obvious and easily obtained. Ie Saddam's WMDs - a perfect example.

If I said this in a soundbyte, the same conclusion would only be a lie. Always necessary is supporting reasoning. Otherwise the entire post is wasted bandwidth or an article for Daily News readers.

Moving on to more facts. GM (a company worth less than $1billion) has been given $15billion in government assistance. Rick Wagoner said nine month ago that GM was losing money but did not need assistance. Now GM says they want government assistance raised to $27billion.

Enron accounting is alive and well.
