Hard to pin this one on Golddiggers or driver error.

A reputation is meaningless when you can't back it up. I guess Toyota will have to start building quality cars again, instead of just saying that they do.

I love their new commercial where they say "Toyota is committed to safety. We are spending 16 million a day to improve safety."

Too bad that came at the expense of billion dollar lawsuits and way too man near-misses......

I thought it was a million every hour, thats probably the total of their fines they will have to pay to stay current. I wouldn't think any car maker could spend 1M a hour (for safty) and stay competative and profitable.?
