Would You Take A Chance On A Turkish Built TOGG?

When we think of big car-making countries, Turkey hasn't really been on many people's radars. But if the country's president has his way going into the new decade, however, that might just change. As reported by Bloomberg, the country has unveiled two prototypes under its very first car company: Turkey’s Automobile Joint Venture Group Inc or "TOGG" when translated into Turkish and abbreviated.

@btmwnch (sic) I don't want to know anything about you. But the sneering superiority of your comment--alone by itself--makes you a hypocrite. Trust me, you'll let your guard down and say even more stupid things. But being the soy boy that you are, you'll have no principled moves.

darringer , what's wrong with having some principles? why the hate? why the judgement cause i said i won't buy from the turks, or the chi coms? they soy boy comments makes me think you think i'm some kind of hippy? i'm just a patriotic american? looks like you are in the minority here, no one wants this turkish crap from the comments. you are welcome to spend your money where you want but dont' hate cause i have a convictions i stand by. it's not "sneering superiority" it's called free speech, which coincidentally is missing in Turkey. Happy new year, good luck!

@btmwnch

That wasn't principles though. You're a hypocrite and I have no time for hypocrites.

But here's the evidence that you are not sincere. If you wanted an answer to: "darringer , what's wrong with having some principles?" you would have asked the question and then shut up until given the answer.

You verbal spew after the question (1) says you don't want an answer, (2) that you're incapable of listening, and (3) a desperate amount of flailing to attempt to save face because I nailed you on your hypocrisy in the first place. If your response had been about your supposed principles, you would have logically articulated them at that time.

More hypocrisy? You saying "Happy new year, good luck!" because you mean neither.

darringer, again, what's the problem? can't a guy have an opinion and principles without getting screeched at? i am not a hypocrite. not sure how you nailed me since you have no information, evidence or proof. i simply don't spend money IF AT ALL POSSIBLE where is supports people (e.g the turks) i don't like. same goes for saudis, chinese, russians, and other very unfree countries...so yes would love to know how you know. but again, it's my choice we are all car lovers, take a breath. are you a turkish or something?
