    The word "service manager" comes from the old Latin word "servitus magnatus" meaning full of shit. True story.

    Well, you can throw ME in the "don't matter either way, this thread is full of people who don't know what they're talking about and 98% if you won't be able to tell even if it is true cuz it's only 3.9 to 4.3, won't affect resale value, early adopter so I knew what I was getting into and am glad that Toyota is continuing to try and improve their products" camp.

    Freak out much?
