My, my, Jeff!

Jeff Sabatini is a very good and interesting auto writer, and I generally like his columns for the Wall Street Journal. They're frequently uplifting and a good reminder of why we drive.

So I was a little surprised when I read his review of the 2009 Toyota Corolla. Strike that. His rape of the 2009 Toyota Corolla.

Not that I would have written it differently, but in thought, I probably wouldn't have written it at all. It's the ugly, unvarnished truth about not just the car, but the Americans who buy it.

Jeff, I salute you for saying what most of us want to say every day: Americans don't know shit about cars.
