That's a shame that the design got used for such a purpose. It's an old quilting design called flyfoot and still around. I think the Navajos have used it in blankets, too. Other cultures have it, too.

That's very true the symbol has a lot of history, and has been used in some religions too. But obviously can't now be used as it is offensive to a large number of people
“The design was not intentional and was a mistake made by our manufacturers in China."
We do see quite a lot of swastikas in China, mainly because it's a Buddhist symbol. The actual tread design on the boots only approximately looks like one IMO, but the imprint it leaves does. I'd say it was unintentional, and would only really cause offence in western markets.
The boots would very likely have been designed in China, and the US company just imports them to sell I think.

The master race stole the symbol. Honestly, anyone who knows anything about its origins should not give Hitler and is mindless stormtroopers enough respect to be offended by it. But, that's not going to happen, since society as a whole, has the attention span of a mentally challenged Goldfish.

I want this car! Why does everyone want big cars, trucks, and SUVs here in the US!

America has always been like that with their automobiles hasn't it? Bigger is better, and gas is cheap in the US?
The Yaris has been popular for a long time in Asia and Europe.

I love my Yaris. If I were rich, I'd have it imported in from Japan if it wasn't available here. Since I'm not rich, I'll just hope that maybe Toyota will take pity on those of us in the USA who want small cars. [emoji29]
The large automobile in the US is usually the visual representation of somebody's ego, an extension of their dick-etry or more fuel for the growing materialism epidemic we have. @septembersrain I would have no problem driving micro cars. My problem is the idiots driving huge vehicles that stare at their phone instead of the road. You must live in a rural area?

Personally, I like fuel-efficiency... I miss my little CRX, and more recently my hybrid.
I am thinking about picking up a used electric such as the Leaf because three market for them is depressed right now and there is little maintenance.
My daily work commute is only 35 miles or so, meaning a hundred-mile vehicle would suffice.

Nope. The bigger vehicles are more useful in rural areas. If you hit a deer or boar in a tiny vehicle, well... You might not survive.
That and there are a lot of farms out there.

Only thing holding me back from a hybrid is the price. They cost entirely too much here. It might be different in other states. As for electric vehicles, we don't even allow direct sales of Tesla here. There aren't enough places to charge and I live in an apartment, so I don't have a viable way to keep my car charged.
I really wish they'd make a solar car. In Texas, we see so much damn sun! Haha.

To each their own. The automobile, much like anything else, is all about personal preference. What you drive, or like, makes no difference to me. I don't look down upon anyone for choosing to drive a vehicle I think is garbage. I do question though, why, some people do things they do to their cars. Like for instance, why on earth would you but a fart nozzle on your 93 horsepower Mirage.
Personally, I want a vehicle that is going to launch me off the line. When that light turns green, I. Am. Gone.

When you like your car so much other people notice. Got this toy Yaris for my birthday last year. Haha!
It's a 4 door older model but it's cute!!!
Got me thinking of this fashion brand one often sees in the PRC, and it's NOT from London.
I'm looking for a new outfit for my visit to the UK in February.

What you are calling a fart nozzle sound like the Abarth systems that sports cars used years ago. I like it.
My Spitfire lost the resonator, and if you want to hear a racket ---
(it did have the muffler)

Be glad it isn't glass paks.
Having heard the real thing years ago, it still sounds good even if there is no performance.
