From: Mike Hunter on 13 Feb 2010 15:44 Perhaps but there are a lot more Toyotas sold in the US and according to published reports there are TODAY over 9,000,000 various Toyotas models being recalled around the world for various reasons. The President of Toyota says he will stand behind your Toyotas. If I were him, I would get in an Audi and not a Toyota either, and THAT is were I would STAND, as well TODAY LOL "Clive" <Clive(a)yewbank.demon.co.uk> wrote in message news:YsXt8zHVYvdLFwPD(a)yewbank.demon.co.uk... > In message <4b76ddc9$0$10191$ce5e7886(a)news-radius.ptd.net>, Mike Hunter > <Mikehunt2(a)lycos.?.invalid> writes >>Better catch up, it that is what you want to believe.

From: Mike Hunter on 13 Feb 2010 15:51 Then you Toyota loyalist should stop posting in other NG in their futile effect to deflect from Toyotas numerous recall problems, those are the ones I have set to delete automatically. What difference does it make where Toyota choose to assemble the parts made to ITS specs?

Nippon makes the steel Dana is required to use by Toyota and Lexus models that are being recalled are made in Japan "Hachiroku" <Trueno(a)e86.GTS> wrote in message news:pan.2010.02.14.00.32.02.859000(a)e86.GTS... > On Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:12:27 -0500, Mike Hunter wrote: > >> (Cross posting deleted, automatically) >> >> Why would Dana be sweating?
