You don't get it, Paul. Noddy is an Aussie jingoist who hates the USA and
doesn't give a shit about the rest of the world.

Oh, I had pretty much figured that out; I just didn't know the proper
term was jingoist. Now I know, thank you.

You do that, and when you've finished go back and look at the rest of the
physical specs of the cars, and in particular the interior dimensions.

I'm not in Europe, and couldn't care less what they sell over there.

Just because the Prius is one of the largest cars Toyota offers in your
particular part of the world doesn't mean it's a *large* car. Here the Prius
is considerably smaller than the Camry, and so much so that no one but a

Maybe in your world mate.

I think the Camry is considered mid sized in just about every market it's
sold in.
