Either that logic is flawed, or we American are just the most forgiving nation on the planet. Actually, I think it's a bit of both.

The Japanesse didn't rape and pillage American cities, or murder millions of your citizens. China suffered almost as much as the Soviet Union did. Also, America does have one of the shortest memories (along with Canada), things are generally forgiven (or forgotten) in about a decade. Old nations take a century or more.
Anyhoo, back on topic. That is a razor thin margin ~3000 cars. Thats 1 week of sales for a top selling vehicle. But I do feel that this is about the best that Toyota will do for a while. GM is on the up swing, while toyota is getting a fair amount of bad press with GM offering lots of exciting new models.
