Sad when buying a Toyota is more American than buying a Chevy.

Not exactly flying off the shelves these days, what with their penchant to wildly accelerate out of control...

She's lying or the national media is lying.
I just read a report in the last week that said Toyota is the only car manufacturer in the US that hasn't seen a jump in sales this quarter, but rather, a huge decline.
