How Toyota Gets Back on Track

This is all a charade to distract Americans from the reality of our government's abusrb policies over that past 30 years which have left the economy teetering off a cliff.
Using Toyota - a foreign company - as a scapegoat to distract America from its own leadership's ineptitude. Thank god for the Olympics to distract us from the rude, disrespecful behaviour of our desperate senators. Vote them all out in November regardless of party.

There is no better value. Great comfort, smooth ride, plenty of power, safe, reliable, who can beat them still............. no one. Go a head and buy gm junk or make an intelligent decision and buy something that is built well.

Regain trust? How about reimbursing customers for engines ruined by oil sludge? Over three thousand have finally resorted to signing an online petition.
Apparently, political influence within the NHTSA has helped Toyota stonewall customers and keep things quiet about defective products. The real shame of it all is that it took the highly publicized deaths of four people in a runaway Lexus before the government and Toyota would take any meaningful action. And now we learn that the Congressional "hearings" will be headed by politicians with close ties to Toyota and the NHTSA.
As one of their many ripped off customers, I decided to start bloggin' about Toyota's lousy business practices:

I am afraid that the television apology by Mr Toyoda is insufficient. He has brought shame on his illustrious family and upon the Japanese Empire. HIs gross negligence in permitting this terrible situation to develop to the extent that it has is unforgivable. His only choice now is the sword. He must commit Seppuku and slit his belly open with the sword. This must be done on national television in order to remove the shame of the Japanese people and to restore their self respect. Anything less only exacerbates his guilt.

I just wonder if the real problem is Government and / or Union control. As the man said, "Never let a crisis go to waste."
We all know now that the present Obama Administration wants to control everything.
This isn't the first time that the Auto industry has had to recall for some reason or other. I always wondered why, with their years of experience, they could make mistakes like this.
But then, what do I know? I'm not even an 800 lb. gorilla !

Funny how every fool with a blog writing news articles suddenly knows how to run a billion dollar company and is telling Toyota and others how to run their companies. They didn't get to where they are today by been blundering idiots.
If you know so much then maybe you wouldn't be a poor loser writing about other peoples achievements in life. Instead you'd be achieving something yourself.
