Why are they continually stating they are worried about this? There is absolutely no indication that any sort of backlash is coming. Besides, even if this did happen, I doubt naming one American to the board of directors is going to make a difference. I sure hope they didn't appoint this guy telling him it was simply a PR move and not because he belongs there.

The only thing Toyota would need to worry about is becoming the world's #1. They will then have the big bullseye for all kinds of nastiness on their back that GM has worn for the last 70 years. Witness the Eco-whackos in my other thread.
