But Khilnani stressed several times to Wall Street analysts that the pedals CTS made for Toyota were “to their specifications.” Pedals that CTS makes for other automakers, including Honda, Nissan, Chry... 2 Feb 2010 19:12

Mint Condition Sighting
It's actually one of my 'old' cars, a 1987 Corolla 4 door sedan. We bought it late in '87 for my wife, and after a year she decided she wanted a car with an automatic so we traded it with 22,000 miles for a Honda Accord. I was on my way to the hospital to get X-Rays for my Crohne's and it was coming out of the... 2 Feb 2010 19:08

Toyota suspends sales of recalled vehicles - what should you buy instead?

Conscience...
Didn't want to say this with Gloating Johnnie hovering over, but I had an '85 P/U that was having a hard time getting up hills. I couldn't figure it out until someone said, what about the fuel filter? I had gotten the truck from my stepfather and he was horrible at auto maintenance, so it seemd like a good bet.
