Nothing to see here. Just a couple of Corolla Cross sporting a hydrogen combustion engine sitting on the lot here at Fuji Speedway, where the Corolla TGRR went the whole 24-hour race without a glitch for the first time last weekend and a fun go-kart showed the tech can also be miniaturised.

I gotta say, self-inflicted brand destruction at that level in so few months is a sight to behold. I suppose that is what is meant by “move fast and break things.”

Zuck: the average American has three friends.
The reason China and India are rising, just like Japan rose before them, is they educate their youth thoroughly. All this administration can do to suppress and prevent education of the American people, it’s doing. Dept of Education, research and science, PBS, etc. MAGA thrives on the uneducated.
