Anyway, lets recap:

The best selling midsize car of 2009 (Camry) has unintended acceleration problems
The best selling compact car of 2009 (Corolla) has unintended acceleration problems
The best selling hybrid of all time (Prius) appears to have unintended acceleration problems

its not a floor mat issue, its not just a gas pedal issue.... its a flaw in the programming.
