Mr. Toyotda's statement could be seen as misleading. According to the infomation available from, http://www.nhtsa.gov/portal/site/nhtsa/template.MAXIMIZE/menuitem.e649cd1b2b018c71d8eca01046108a0c/?javax.portlet.tpst=4427b997caacf504a8bdba101891ef9a_ws_MX&javax.portlet.prp_4427b997caacf504a8bdba101891ef9a_viewID=detail_view&itemID=539ed5c474a5a110VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCRD&viewType=standard&detailViewURL=/portal/site/nhtsa/template.MAXIMIZE/menuitem.e649cd1b2b018c71d8eca01046108a0c/;jsessionid=MFJ6KygcLrWRJfmQlPfQJ5xs8XnBM2s2jclXFJKpSGGLphQlpjq1!-1711642967!727811963?javax.portlet.tpst=4427b997caacf504a8bdba101891ef9a_ws_MX,the Camry Hybrid only includes 45% domestic (US and Canada) content. Isuppose by "vast majority of the parts" Mr. Toyoda was counting items bypiece count, not by value. And of course his answer ignores where the proftsgo.> These grandstanding Congresstards are embarrassing. I feel> sorry for Akio Toyoda.I am embarrassed than Ms. Norton didn't have the facts available so shecould "clarify" Mr. Toyoda's statement. She should have at least knownenough to have asked whether he was talking about number of individual partsor overall parts value.Ed |
