WTF? My Cousin Vinny references? Wow are you sure? LOL It's a damn movie.

Gilbert has NO engineering degree or credibility to speak on that. But he's agreeing? WOW.

Pull jobs from here, just gives people even more reason not to buy their cars.

And at the rate the government is going with this witch hunt on Toyota, it’s not going to be a friendly place to import cars too in a short period of time.

I do not agree with what is happening to Toyota right now but as I asked in another thread, do American corporations get a fair chance in Korea\China\Japan?

It does not make this right, but what goes around comes around.

The European automakers seem to be doing just fine in Korea, Japan, and China.

That's a cop out domestic automakers use. What's stopping American automakers from doing fine in Korea, or Japan? The Europeans can do it.

You're right, what goes around comes around, and this will definitely come around and bite the US govt.

Kudos to Mr Buyer for asking some hard, honest questions and getting some of the truth out there .

Its not a matter of doing fine, nothing is fair regardless of where you go is my point. And will it really come back to us? Toyota can pack up and leave the country; someone else will just take the market share, big deal. We should not be afraid of a corporation nor pledge any allegiance to one unless you happen to have some personal major investment in them.

I also say why defend a corporation? Why defend a corporation that did screw up, they did make mistakes correct?

Yeah they are being treated unfairly but your going to have a hard time convincing me that American companies play on a level ground in other countries.

Go setup a new business in China and tell me it’s all fair, it’s not so at the end of the day maybe this all balances out.

Funny, Toyota’s and Honda’s I bet. My sister took a sr level spot in the Obama Administration, when she moved to DC she bought a Prius so she could fit in.

Not even Kodachrome 64 shot through an old school Kodak or Bell & Howell home movie camera can make Whoopi or the Jonas look good.
