PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSS.

Even with that lunchbox on wheels, toyota's only the 10th most fuel efficient brand.

Chevy's the second most fuel efficient.

And yes, I laugh because now that the "flawless" juggernaut is in trouble, maybe people won't be so quick to just assume financial troubles in today's market is just due to bad management.

Nope, the big 3 are in trouble because of a lack of foresight/bad products/bad management/unions. For Toyota, the economy is the problem. Its amazing how misinformed some people can be . . .

Yep. Sorry...won't do it again. I felt the urge to "save" the planet...so of course, an ugly-ass car, built in a dirty assembly plant, using some of the least appealing batteries around, shipped across the sea on a massive oceanliner (burning thousands of gallons of fuel, I might add) was the first thing that came to mind. I apologize.

Their cars have been spiraling in quality like a Slinky down stairs. Their ratings have been smeared by the competition. Their awards are gone. Their biggest supporters have gone from being mainstream people to lunatic hippies who pray to the altar of Prius. Their name is Toyota, and they are doomed. Congress won't blame it on bad management or poor products. It will be a poor industry that righteously kills the brand that killed its performance car for the likes of family sedans, crossovers, and a slave-build green machine. There's no justification for saving it. It isn't special. It's cars don't have an enthusiast following like they used to have with the Supra and Celica. Now, it is a brand of mediocrity, doomed to annihilation by the forces that so many would will on companies that actually do make good cars: bad decision-making, poor quality, weak performance, ugliness, and products that do not reflect the wants and needs of the market. I hope that Toyota's employees all quit tomorrow. I hope that GM buys all of their factories and makes Volts in them. I hope that every Toyota roaming the streets of American, Europe, and Japan gets replaced by a Cobalt, Malibu, Impala, Camaro, or Corvette in the years to come, and I hope that those buyers never look back.
