Pressure rose on Toyota days before its chief faces a US congressional grilling, as new documents showed the automaker boasted about saving 100 million dollars by limiting its safety recalls.

    I wonder how chilling that testimony was compared to the testimony of all those GM and Chevy truck owners whose trucks would brew up on side impact?

    Well sure they do. They'd like to see a return on their investment.

    The difference between the GM/Ford and Toyota problems is...the GM/Ford issue was unique to a model line or two. The Toyota problem is throughout the majority of it's models...(unlike GM or Ford)...

    Yeah, especially the truck owners who were unfortunate enough to have NBC install incendiaries in their trucks to make sure the truck blew up for the cameras. :roll:

    Ok Stemmer, that's why GM's recall in 2009 involved MORE vehicles than the Toyota recall of the same period. Nice try.

    There are two factors that make Toyota’s situation different, Hoffer said. The other manufacturers were dealing with one model, and they were older vehicles that were out of production or about to go out of production, he said.

    I always found Ridenrain the most obnoxious individual for posting anything partisan to support his particular delusions. He was at least honest about what he was doing.

    Stemmer has now taken the throne in my opinion. The only problem is his dishonesty in his reasons for constantly attacking all things Asian.

    Stemmer. The sheer numbers of recalls, lawsuits, denials and unnecessary deaths as a result of GM, Ford and the various other North American over the last 100 years dwarfs anything Toyota or any other foreign manufacturer has ever done. The US government is targeting Toyota because they can in a very underhanded form of protectionism. Toyota is admitting to problems and has gone further, faster than any NA manufacture ever has when one of their products has required a recall.
    Of course there have been dozens of links posted that show just how wrong you are but as is your nature you again bury your head in the sand (or some other such place) and pretend the links, posts, and anything contrary to your particularly twisted point of view,

    Why?

    Basically the issues with Toyota cars, in some people's eyes, are a conspiracy/witch hunt/form of protectionism by the US government against Toyota, to further the interests of the domestic auto industry? Seriously?

    The largest recall by General Motors was in about April of 2009, involving 1.5 million cars. In 2009, involving the "floor mat" issue, involved 4.2 million cars.

    So...where are you getting the whole General Motors has more recalls number?

    Half your blog list comes from the 70's.. how many Toyotas were being sold in the US
    during that time ?


    Kind of a skewed list.


    And I am pretty sure this is a Toyota thread,
    not a Big 3 thread, so you and your blogs are just trying to hijack
    a legitimate Toyota story.


    Same as your other 50 posts.



    Any comments about Toyota ?
