I think Toyota can afford to do anything they want, and will throw it in Americans faces every thance they get !!!
since they show profits of atleast 10 billion each qtr,
while the 3 american (ford, gm, chrysler) have been loosing billions each qtr!!!

Unfortunately the Americans are catching on to Japanese Manufacturing techniques almost 30 years too late.....

I can't stand those Snickers commercials with the guy with the guitar and horrible singing. We have a digital recorder and luckily skip lots of commercials.

I like the Lockness Toyota Truck commercial. Makes me chuckle. A little off topic, but I am a Toyota fan. For years I have driven Toyota pick-ups. I would buy them cheap with 130K on them and drive them for 125K more and sell them with a wood bed for what I had paid four years earlier. Practically everyone would tell me that it was the cheap Japanese steel that made the beds rust out. Then a guy told me that the trucks back in the 80s were shipped here with no bed attached and the beds were made in the midwest and put on here. HHMMMMM. Not sure if it's true, but I still like those late 80s and early 90s pickups. As for GM, Ford and Chrysler.... well they pushed the big engines, the big cars, big SUVs and big trucks and were short on quality, reliability and fuel savings and now it has come back to bite them in the ass. Live and (maybe) learn.
