And people yet again don't read my post and use it as a bump.
I'm even invisible to others on the internet. |

The two things Subaru can do is either purchase the patent from Toyota or set up some kind of agreement, perhaps helping update their AWD technology in return. Another thing they can to is re-engineer it a'la Ford. |

I'm not educated because I drive a GM? Come On!! Even you are better than this!! I'm supposed to bow to you because you went to an Ivy League school? I had the choice, and decided to save $100g's and get the same education at a state school. So now while you are paying off your school loans, i'm making just as much money, but using the extra that I didn't spend on school for a car, a truck, and a house. Now who's Mr. Smarty Pants? Quote:

"That Toyota is increasing prices by 1% or so is not unusual at all. It's what they've done every year," said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst at Edmunds.com, a consumer auto-data service in Santa Monica, Calif. "That they are doing this while most competitors are cutting prices is unique." |

First point: State school does not equal Ivy league school... sorry, try again. You may have done similar programs, and yes, Ivy league schools tend to be over inflated as far as their reputations go. However the damn name on the degree is probably worth another 30K a year over a state school degree. Its just how it works, not to mention that the "Its not what you know, but who you know" adage is more true that most people will even admit. Second point. Yes, Toyota raised prices... however in the same rate they've been doing it every year. So lets think about the marketing behind this. Company anounces they WILL raise prices... People then decide they need to buy now, rather than later. Company raises prices VERY slightly, and maintains average number of buyers... look at the numbers, Toyota didn't lose any market share over the past 6 months. GM did however sell a fair number of cars, however... how much profit did they make?? (And yes, toyota does gain by keeping GM alive) So I'm not quite sure where exactly you're trying to go here... admitting that toyota is trying to help GM... while still maintaining sales and markeshare? sounds like a good plan for toyota. And as far as Toyota's "synergy drive" their hybrid technology goes... its kinda special because they actually have 2 cars you can buy right now with it, however its really not anything out of the ordinary. My company makes a regenerative braking trans for autos, and Alison just released theirs for the transit market. Toyota managed to bring it to market faster, but the technology is really really simple.

Of my 5 closest friends (we are all close in age): 3 went to state schools, 2 went to Ivy League schools. Of the two that went to the Ivy schools, one got a Chemical Engineering degree, and one got a Political Science and Law degree. The one with the Chem degree spent three years applying and interviewing for jobs, all while paying over $500 a month toward student loans, then finally gave up and took a job as Operations Manager at Dorney Park (about $35k/year salary). The one with the Political Science/Law degree is now an outside rep for Shimano North America, and pulls in about $100k/year. Great salary, sure...only one problem...he could have done it right out of high school and saved $150g's. Of the three guys that went to state schools, they all got jobs in their field, and the lowest paid is making about $38k/year. The highest is making about $65k. Ivy League education guarantees nothing other than a high price tag. Quote:

Sorry Shadow, I went to school to get an education not a job so your figures and logic mean nothing to me. If I loose both my houses, all 5 cars, my truck, my cycle and my scooter I'll still have something that can't be taken away. Remember an idiot is still an idiot regardless how much money they have.
You do make me laugh though so I figure I'll let you ponder this since you like figures so much. My income this year will be a big fat ZERO just as it will be next year. Hope you enjoy your day at work. I'm gonna go to the park and watch some tennis with my daughter and maybe read her a story which in my opinion makes all those loans I never took out because I didn't qualify for them so worthwhile.

Ivy League education guarntees nothing more than potential opportunities for a high price tag. ^^^fixed it for you Shadow. What fields are your other friends working in? The ones that went to a state college? It sounds like your friend the Chemical Engineer is worthless. |

...and see he does it without having a sugarmomma.....that is the beauty of it. If you paid attention to the things he has said you would know how he does what he does and can show ZERO for it. Come on folks...you don't need to be an accountant for this one....
Ok folks keep the flame war going here...
