The only ones choking tho are GM and Chrysler, aren't the United Auto workers at Ford also? Seems to be more of a management issue. Whiteacre will save GM, he can do anything.After all he put the Bell System back together and showed us we were doing it wrong all those years!

Agree for the most part, but have you checked to see how much of that Toyota is made in the U.S.A or why thay haven't gotten choken into bankruptcy submission by unions? Seems like thine nieghbor f**cks themselves sometimes.

For me it is simple economics, spend locally, support thy neighbor and help them prosper, in return so will you when they buy locally as we are all happy and healthy! Not sure how the CEO, Engineer, employee or whatever in any foreign country falls into that equation. Oh yeah, forgot to mention brand loyalty, Like Correct Craft who last time I checked was still in the good ole US of A!

I don't think too many Toyotas would have fly by wire Pete,I think you'll only find it on high end cars,I know some BMW's have it.I seem to remember Eric talking about his development of a fly by string system.He better get his patent up to date someone my be needing it  Remember the good old days sitting in a toll booth with an Audi 5000 behind you and a Ford Pinto in front?

They can just go up to Washington and Obie will cut them a check for the money lost during this recall.

The company is in Elkhart, IN and made in Canada by CTS for Toyota
CTS on Wednesday issued a statement saying the pedals were made to Toyota's design and now that design is being beefed up |

 maybe that explain the sudden turn that the Ethiopian airliner took before crashing in Lebanon, the rudder got stuck in the mat.

The report I saw last night blamed the floor mats, but went on to say it even happens without the floor mats and left it at that. Great reporting.
