So you're gonna stereotype a whole country of people for what Toyota did. Seriously thats messed up.

It had nothing to do with the floormats. Cars WITHOUT floor mats were experiencing unintended acceleration. Its all been well documented. Many victims reported the throttle pedal being at the top, not depressed at all, and the car still trying to accelerate. It was a glitch in the PCM, which was addressed when the cars were reflashed during the recall.

Did you even bother to read what I posted? No you didn't. Did you research anything? No you didn't. The NHTSA tested the cars involved in accidents found that there was no stuck accelerator in any of the accidents. Not only that you are WRONG about the recall, they never reflashed the PCM because they never said that was the problem. And nobody reported the car just took off on its own, the reports were that they pressed the accelerator and it would never return, it would hang.

No, they are not. I work in the automotive industry and I see what all kinds of various makes of vehicles are equipped with for braking duties. The Japanese pinch pennies when it comes to things comsumers don't phyisically see, and brakes are no exception. How else do you explain $40,000 Lexuses and Acuras that still use ancient single piston cast iron calipers with small rotors?? They are heavy, rust easily, and don't stop well at all. Yet they keep using them, because they are cheap. The Honda Fit has such poor brakes that it gets outstopped from 70MPH by a Ford F-150 Supercrew King Ranch. Look at a $40,000 Cadillac or Lincoln, and you'll find dual piston aluminum calipers with properly sized rotors. Many if these calipers are made by PBR of Australia. Even GM full size trucks have PBR dual piston aluminum rear calipers.

And I'm supposed to believe you based upoin your posts here? No I don't think so, a quick trip to Acura's website shows the TL for example comes factory with 13 inch rotors all around and dual piston front calipers. The Lexus website, Their mid-line sedan the GS has 13 inch rotors up front and 12 in the back with dual piston calipers as well.
You are wrong but you won't admit it, instead you will make up "facts" to back up your story.
