You rarely hear about Toyotas problems. If they aren't flawless then the very rationale from buying from a non U.S. OEM falls appart. It must be true in order for the average American to not feel bad for buying from a foreign OEM.

They aren't in as much trouble as GM. Just stating facts.

Hmmmmmm, not so sure just yet. I think the jury is still out. They have expanded at a very fast pace and quality data shows they dropped the ball getting there.

Just seems like it's not very big news because is has no real merrit. Just because it is in the courts, doesn't mean it is true.
There are cases in the courts where people sued 'Froot Loops' because it didn't really have fruit in it. 
And just recently, a California judge ruled against a lady who tried to sue because the 'Crunch Berrys' in Cruch Berrys weren't real berries.
I'd wait to see if this story really has any truth.
Just sayin'. Know what I'm sayin' |
Yes, I know what your sayin'. Until this plays out just a bit more, we may never realy understand the motivations for this. We will see how far down the rabbit hole we go.

Balance sheet wise, yes. We (GM) still have to overcome a negative public perception. The same public that has granted Toyota the darling of the press for Green-ness.

The difference is they don't do it publicly. That was a bit short sighted of you...

Yeppper!!!!
Toyota is not to be discounted here. They are buying trucks back right and left due to frame corrosion. They had cam shafts breaking in the new trucks V8. Yet they are realy not getting any negative press for this. But even Consumer Reports has held back on some of the automatic recommend buys on the Camry. They have attained a special status with the press and very little Toyota bashing goes on in the media, regardless of their transgression. This will be interesting to see how this plays out............................or doesn't.
