LOL... blame Mercedes for screwing up Chrysler?? That's a good one. He has some good points but mostly it's subjective (and biased). Apparently, the Big Three are profiting well from SUVs and Toyota's losing money. What a stupid way to do business, Toyota.. yeah.. stupid... lol... no mention of DC's recent job cuts and what not and Toyota still raking in profits. If the Big Three profits from SUVs and still lose, then Toyota must be damn smart to get even MORE profit without relying soley on SUVs (correct me if I'm wrong but even though Toyota SUVs give the biggest profit margins, they're not the sole reason given that US is the only country that has so many SUV models). Also, the Metro had a 1.0 litre engine and ~50hp. Do that in the new Yaris and it'll get 50mpg (just look at the Yaris 1.0 in Europe with the CVT).
