Does Washington Owe Toyota an Apology?
The more I think about this whole Toyota thing http://www.nhtsa.gov/PR/DOT-16-11, the more ****ed off I get - and I don't even own a Toyota. After a year of trashing the company's cars, the government is just saying, "oops, my bad" and shrugging their shoulders http://thehill.com/homenews/house/14...-a-year-later-. This could have happened to any car company. I know they're big corporations, but WTF?
I know I can't be the only person who feels this way http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/your-w...toyota-apology, amirite? |

So there was no electrical issue. What about the mechanical ones?

They do owe Toyota an apology in my opinion.
The American government had to massively bail out General Motors etc. Bad press for non-American brands of cars will promote the sale of American cars and aid the companies they had to financially assist. It also happened just a year after the Toyota & GM joint venture New United Motor Manufacturing Inc (NUMMI) closed, which I would hazard a guess wasn't a coincidence. http://money.cnn.com/2010/04/01/news...sing/index.htm EDIT: Sorry for dragging up an old thread! Didn't realise how old it was when I posted & couldn't spot the delete post button. Am I being blind? (most likely!) Last edited by Bucky.; 10 Apr 2011 at 04:58. |

Classic case of US protectionism. Just like BP.
