heh looks like the Toyota one sorta fell through the cracks if you believe the US DOT or whatever department saying that they had to really lean on Toyota to get them to do the recall on the gas peddles.

As I grew up I learned FIAT = "Fix It Again Tony", that was the real meaning of those letters!

I thought FORD = First On Race Day or alternatively Found On Rubbish Dumps.

All these comments about the last remaining solely owned public car company = FORD, all the rest are partually owned by the federal government.
