max power Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'll still drive a Yota before a Cheevey. At least it'll start and go. Stopping is for pussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota isnt going anywhere.youre just a fanboy.... ill be interested to see how bad this gets for them.... i think a "chink" (lol i hope there was no pun intended, sir) is a little bit of an understatement....i think theyre going to be hurting badly from this...obviously not enough to close down, my above statement was an exaggeration, but i doubt they will remain #1 after this all pans out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Funny the attention to these recalls. Nobody even remotely seems to remember any of the US recalls.Like my truck for example... Cruise control and brake recalls. Both can lead to fire that can burn the truck to the ground. Gee, that sounds WAY better than a stuck pedal...Everyone's got them under a microscope due to the years of failures the US makers have created.Toyota ain't going anywhere and considering the #2 guy was Chevy, do you honestly think this is going to knock Toyota down to #2? Riiiiight...The governement is now into the auto industry and they are going to watch everything and everyone. Chevy caused all this BS with the government now a car company...

These hiccups will barely put a chink in their armor. Toyota isnt going anywhere.I have to agree, Toyota isn't gonna go anywhere. They may have a slight decline in sales for a bit, but that will just be a small hiccup.Funny the attention to these recalls.

jagr Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wow. A bunch of guys who ride moorsickles bitching about the dangers of a Toyota car. That's almost funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bitch because a thirty-something thousand dollar car is now worthless until Toyota figures out what the fuck is going on. We wanted to trade it in, but only GM is accepting them (and me no drivey GM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
