i'm putting my conspiracy theory hat on. I think that all of this was a ploy by the american auto industry. is it a coincidence that in the time that the american auto industry is in its absolute worst, that a recall of epic proportions hits their largest competitor? hrmmm. yes, i know it sounds a little ridiculous, but hey, like i said, im putting my conspiracy theory hat on.
i'm sure there are some folks in the auto industry that are pushing the press to have this sort of coverage, its great for GM and Ford! More bad press for Toyota, more good news for GM and Ford...
personally, if you asked me what i'd rather take a chance on- a toyota that might unintentionally accelerate or the idiot drivers talking on cell phones or putting on make up, i'll take the toyota.
however, i am glad i sold my Scion tC in december, before much of this debacle occurred. I think I saved myself from losing 1-2000 bucks...
