Yeah, makes sense to me. Pissed-off customers always buy another car from companies they hate, because of their unwavering loyalty to the brand, and I'm sure they recommend that same course of action to all of their friends and aquaintences.

I'm sure Toyota also engineered their recent problems to create publicity for the company, because we all know that any publicity is good publicity, right?

Some of you guys really ought to figure out how life really works. Or, find a way to make a better tin-foil hat.
Me, I need to figure out why I waste time on this forum.
