• I hope GM is making money..

  Suspicions that the whole Toyota ordeal was a plot to boost american car sales during the economic collapse seem to be true now.

  earlier this year:

  NOW, check out the last paragraph in THIS article. 

  I like how it only got a one paragraph mention, even though they shamed the Japanese car company by making him testify in front of a grand jury. OOPS.

  (copied here for your laziness)

  An investigation by American road-safety officials concluded that the problem of sudden acceleration that led to a huge recall of Toyota cars was not caused by the carmaker’s electronic systems, as claimed in hundreds of lawsuits. Sticking foot-pedals and floor mats accounted for some of the mishaps, but most were caused by “pedal misapplication”, or motorists mistaking the accelerator for the brake.

   

  why isn't this being mentioned everywhere.
