Also... let's hear some opinions on Toyota's problems... Think they knew about it and tried to keep it under wraps for a while? Or do you think they're really trying to be a sincere company and fix the issue as soon as they found out?

I think Toyota has known and tried to sweep it under the rug and thought it would go away.
