    It is too easy for us in the USA to forget the trials and struggles that the Japanese people had to endure last spring: Earthquake, tsunami, and a major nuclear crisis.

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who lost loved ones. Certainly everyone who worked on our car's must have known someone who did not survive those horrible events.

    Yet, look at our wonderful new Prius PHVs... What wonderful work you guys (and gals) have done! Thank you so much for your work and ability to endure some very difficult times.

    Great job, Toyota workers of Japan!

    Solute? Are you talking about the Paleozoic echinoderms, or are you planning on dissolving the Toyota workers?

    How did he change the title so fast?? Damn, he must be in good with the mods! :jealous:

    aghh I thought there would be an emoticon for "jealous." Fail on my part.

    Well, shoot, that title change ruins the humor.

    But the humor ruins the intent.

    It looked like a classic typo. I couldn't resist having some fun.

    Re: Toyota Workers of Japan... We Solute You!

    Looking at it now, it is clear to me that 'Solute' is spelled incorrectly.

    (I was at the mercy of the moderators since I can't change the thread's title)

    Or, conversely, "Solute" is spelled correctly but is the wrong word.

    Your idea was a great one to Thank and Honor those who have worked hard to put together our Plug In Prius cars- I concur with you, that the Toyota Workers in Japan have done a outstanding job and have overcome some difficult circumstances - and they have worked hard to build a fabulous new car that we are benefiting from :)

    Agree with you totally Dianne ! They are an incredibly resilient people and I also THANK the Toyota workers that put my PIP together. Hopefully they get to see these praises. A well intentioned sentiment, Dianne. :D
