Actually I like the Scion Xb. It looks exactly like it should, almost
a text book example of most interior size with least exterior size.

So it was cheaper in £ (4.33 euros, $5.34) - I fail to see your point. Our
economy has been better for staying out of the Euro so far.

My point is that the "*****" do not "have England subservient via their
Euro", as Bill says. The wine was cheaper in dollars too. Although the
Euro enjoys a favorable exchange rate against the dollar, that doesn't do
much good in Europe, where you can't buy much with it. That was on a U. S.
Airways flight, by the way. On British Airways, they did give me free wine,
although they lost my luggage, bumped me from my transatlantic flight, and
threatened to strand me in London overnight.

You folks should buy into the Euro, and enjoy the same high prices, as the
rest of Europe!
