    Toyota President Akio Toyoda Honored as the 2021 World Car Person of the Year - Toyota USA Newsroom

    The honor was bestowed by the World Car Awards jury, a panel of more than 90 distinguished international journalists.

    The World Car Person of the Year award was created in 2018 to acknowledge and celebrate an individual who has made a significant contribution to the global automotive industry during the preceding year. It is one of six awards presented annually by the World Car Awards program, established in 2003.

    I need a new keyboard.
    Typically, I like my coffee black and bitter which does not gum up the keys all that much, but today I'm drinking it blonde and sweet.

    'Distinguished' international journos?

    Yyyyyyyyyeah.
    Right. :ROFLMAO:

    Maybe you're just reading 'distinguished' too narrowly.

    At my alma mater, there were three things that could happen at your comps exam: you could "fail", "pass", or "pass with distinction".

    I had one prof who was known for advocating that "fail with distinction" should also be an option.
