Exactly. You don't hear anyone going off the deep end over the multitude of recalls by the big three. On the new last night they said Ford was looking into their own brake issues. Why not a big sell-off of Ford?
Toyota already has slipstreamed software changes in Prius production. They will most likely retrofit all the existing cars with the new program - a really easy fix.
The only thing that disappoints me with Toyota is the American management. Their dealer network and attitude towards customers leaves alot to be desired. Hopefully this kick in the ass will improve things dramatically.
But if you want a real eye opener for dealer arrogance - take a Mercedes Benz in and imply that there is something wrong with it design wise!
