Ferrari Mailing List: Fw: Re: NFC Say goodbye to your SUV's : BO just madethem extinct

[cavallino_rapante (cavallino_rapante]

#1 = Toyota Corolla/Camry   ('big' is not an adjective used to describe this 
vehicle, except before the word 'value' or the words 'gross sales')
 
#2 = Volkswagen Beetle (also, not 'big'.....)
 
If anyone would like to debate the resemblance of either vehicle with a SUV, or 
would like to compare MPG ratings of both vehicles with said-SUV, please bring 
updated Optometrist's checkup sheet....  ;-)
