Agree with you on that. It's all based on the fact the car mainly travels in the forward direction and with that reference the "toe in, toe out" reference makes total sense. For some reason when I had my NSX aligned by a shop which knows my car extremely well, the Hunter machine referenced the front toe as negative and the rear toe as positive and yet the tires were both pointing towards the center of the car which would make them both negative. I certainly didn't want any positive toe on the rear of a mid engine car unless it was strictly for auto-crossing. In this way I could get the car to rotate more easily in the tight tracks they had. Not good for normal street or high speed track driving.
