While you raise some interesting points that will no doubt cause many to agree or disagree accordingly, I can’t verify any of the information.

I keep my blog non-political because it’s centered on business books. Still, raising the questions you raise is an important part of the operation of a free society, and I’m glad you wrote to us.

What interests me in the Toyota controversy is whether or not it will change the company’s accountability practices. One of the reasons we selected How Did That Happen for summary is that accountability practices are either soft or reactionary and the authors of the book provide a program that is proactive and positive. Toyota has an opportunity to change its practices and return to a better standing with its consumers. Only time will tell if this will occur.

Thanks for reading!

Since GM and Chrysler are now in a position to never have to show a profit again (as they are just two more bottomless-pit-government agencies, artificially propped up by tax payer monies), it’s curious that this witch hunt is taking place at all. The only reason can be is that Toyota doesn’t hire UAW “talent”, which is one of many reasons it took over GM as the world’s number one automaker. The UAW is trying to unionize Toyota UAW style, so that they can destroy that automaker as well.
I submit that there is NOT a mechanical problem with Toyotas-brakes or otherwise-and that these charges are all a nefarious fabrications for compulsory concessions by Toyota to the Feds and the UAW. You heard it here first.
