Automakers contributed about $1 million, split evenly between Blue & Red. The press is unionized. Toyota has no union plants, now that they've closed NUMMI. Obama and the Democrats are union stooges, in a very open and public manner. Add all that together, and you've got at least a big part of the current mess exposed. -- Tegger

That's because I'm probably the only one on this thread who has the sense to trash what really needs trashing - this FRICKIN' ELECTRIC POWER STEERING! Let's focus on the root of Toyota's - and every other mfgs - problem - a technology that hasn't been fully developed before implementing in any country's car. -CC

With all the guff Toyota is taking, all of a sudden "I don't like this about my Toyota" or "I don't like that about my Toyota." Fine! Put it up for sale! They're bargains right now. I'll take it, get it fixed, and have a decent car! What car were you talking about, BTW?

I'll say it again: while the media has Toyota in firing range, I'm targeting what really needs to be looked at: this electric power steering. The problems with the Corolla could have happened to ANY MAKE utilizing the frickin' thing, GOT IT? Honda, Chevy, Ford, VW, whomever! So it's NOT a Toyota problem, it's an unproven technology problem. Get it through your thick skulls - ALL of you. -CC |
