How often have we heard from the Toyota loyalist, who love to cross post in domestic brand NGs, tell us Toyota cares more for it buyers than do the domestics?

According to news reports, it will take Toyota several MONTHS to get all of the replacement linkages from it supplier, for the millions of vehicles involved in the recall, into the cars on the road being driven by its customers, who will need them.

Guess where Toyota is going to actually use the parts that their customer NEED? They will be used first for unsold new cars on the dealerships lots, then on the Toyotas in their assembly plants storage lots.

As you drive down the road, keep an eye open for drunks, those texting and runway Toyotas. ;)

How do you expect them to do this overnight? Do you think GM, Ford or Fiat could do it faster?

And what order would you put them in?

Who dumped WHO?!

I think you have that backwards. Before I say what I'm going to say, bear in mind GM has had about 15 times the number of recalls as Toyota.

Toyota ended the relationship with GM. I think it's because GM just didn't care.

NOW LYAO.

Actually the Vibe was built by NUMMI in California.

You know, if it was GM or Chrysler, they would have denied it was a problem for years. Toyota did the right thing.

Joint venture betwen Toyota and GM from what I understand. Defective part made in CAW plant in Canada, for a US corporation.

Nice try. Actually Toyota knew about the problem since 2007, according to newspaper reports.

Yeah, I know that. Toyota was trying to help them build a higher quality car. Gm figured it didn't serve the shareholders to make cars a little better. "We're losing money on every car we sell, but we'll make it up on volume."

That number was from the USA Today report. It turns out that Toyota actually knew in 2004!!!!

GM probably couldn't make enough for management bonuses, super fat pensions, Wagoner's take and the political contributions. Plus Toyota probably made GM pay it's bills or no cars.
