Toyota Blamed for Future Plant Closures

In related news, the WSJ also reported that Toyota is cranking up a lobbying and public relations campaign partly to avoid being blamed for any future plant closures and job losses among its U.S. rivals, which have been losing market share to Toyota.

That's what I'm sayin'.. Anyways, GM and Ford are dying 'cuz they suck. Period.

From the underpowered Ford Five Hundred AWD to the regurgitated H2/H3 variations. From the shell-of-its-former-self Impala line-up to the weak and awful Windstar, did you really think you were going to pawn those off to the public? Sorry, try again....

Kudos on the new Mustang, the STYLING of the Ford Escape, the end of the Excursion. As well, kudos on the new body style of the Corvette and the domestic rice that is the Cobalt SS and I hope you have great luck on the Pontiac Solstice (very nice, body wise).
