“How about F off Nestle. The US consumer is already always getting screwed...no Toyota Hilux, no glass bottled coke, no Honda XR air cooled dirtbike....you have to go to Mexico to buy those products”

We have the Tacoma. I like it better than the Hilux.

We have coke in glass bottles. But the consumer is not screwed. Consumers love the lighter no retun deposit required option.

The XR is still air cooled.

I have no problem getting Mexican Coke both in Georgia and in Arizona. Coke even advertises it, so it isn't grey market.

While cans and plastic bottles are cheaper and more common, the reason the Mexican Coke comes here is primarily because there is a significant tariff on imported sugar, but NOT on finished products MADE with sugar.

Mexican Coke is the go to for those who prefer Coke with sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Yeah the 650 is but the US doesn’t get the smaller displacement models as still sold in Mexico. You have to buy the CRF model.
