On one hand we have the guys who now will defend
Toyota regardless -as they have bought into the superiority ( true 20 years or so ago -I have my doubts today) of "foreign" car nameplates and will not even look at a domestic brand.

On the the other hand we have the guys who have been apologists ( they forgot their 2 year old Dodges with rusty fenders) for the "US" brands and are jumping on the pile.

Good entertainment regardless --puts a little gusto in the increasingly bland automotive business. Not the fact people are getting hurt mind you but the whole brand love and hate thing this has illuminated

Toyota is the top dog hence the heat --to even think that the press has some government driven incentive here is a stretch as the press has pilloried the domestic auto industry for years.

Just goes to show whether its exploding Pintos or brake-free Prius - everything has the potential for failure given the profit driven world of big industry and medium and small industry for that matter.

Strength and Honor
