Good-bye TOYOTA

Ford is the only American auto product I will buy.

Toyota has been torpedoed by the US govt. We are becoming a Banana republic.

Yep flat out torpedoed........ sinkin as we watch.

Funny tho, they all have their recalls, (this is an extreme case though) but we all forget.
Also heard yesterday, toyota doesnt know if their fix will actually fix the problem. ouch?
Too bad, toyota had some pretty beastly cars, still love the FJ CRAWLER............. fj cruiser? might as well drive a PT Cruiser!

Maybe they will become a dime a dozen, if they do I'll buy a few and redesign the freakin gas pedal system.
I'd love to make a few buggies out of the FJ Crawler without breaking the bank. that would be sweet!

19 deaths is hardly an extreme case.... and that's the point. The US government is fanning the flames here. They have a VESTED interest in doing so, which is a CONFLICT of democracy. Then again, we're turning into a statist regime under Obama.

i don't think toyota would be all over the news apologizing if there wasn't really a problem. they are TOYOTA. they have lawyers.

Toyota’s President to Take ‘Full Responsibility’

They are all over the airwaves and media because they have been attacked PUBLICLY by the US govt.

It's a response to a slash and burn campaign.

so they just give in, without a single word of disagreement?

whatever.

They give in? No, they are fixing it, but they have to make a response in words now that they have been attacked.

It's a conflict.... the govt. has no business being in the auto industry.

The Govt. went too far ... on purpose. then they reign it back in apologetic, AFTER the damage is done.... classic socialism.

fixing what? there is nothing to fix. it's all a smear campaign.
