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?

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!)

Classic case of US protectionism. Just like BP.
