The Toyota Circus...

What's the saying? The tallest grass is the first to get cut? It also didn't help that the American automotive industry was in the tanks already. This is just a solid chance for them to turn their fortunes around, albeit at the expense of others.

Toyota did not help by mishandling the situation a little bit, but they've definitely turned around. I'm really happy to see Toyoda owning up to his company's mistakes, and I hope new cars from the company (FT-86 included) live up to more stringent quality standards, even if it does cost a little sales to do so.

I agree, the media is getting ridiculous, but such is the nature of American media. I mean, we have 50 photographers fawn over who a 19-year old is dating, so I'm not surprised.

And it's also why I read foreign newspapers more than US ones now.
