Toyota, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Hyundai...............Euro Cars

Before you junk your Toyota, do a little digging and pull the recall stats on the major car manufacturers of our time. Go back a ways- before recalls were invented. Look up Pinto, Vega, any AMC piece of crap. Step into the 90's and see what comes up. Consider the state of American car companies and ask yourself if any of them has hard feelings over the fact Toyota is now the world's largest car builder. I'm not saying Toyota doesn't have some problems- big ones- but given the timing, the opportunity and the local stat sheets, a few well placed bytes could go a long way toward feeding the fire burning in Japan. We all must hope that Toyota's problems will be corrected and that the fallout lasts only a few weeks. Meantime, given the general business tactic to knock down the top guy is going strong in this country, we might want to keep a close eye on Caterpillar and the guy down south who was paralysed while operating a Cat scraper (25mil)
