The Sykes scam is a good analogy for the entire Government Motors’ dumping on Toyota (a chief competitor).

We are seeing fascist economics unfold before our eyes.

I do hope Toyota sues James Sikes, the irresponsible MSM and the 0bama administration while they’re at it.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. When you look at how Barry rose to prominence by smearing rival Jack Ryan for Illinois Senator you can see the same strategies now being applied to the car industry. Axelrod must have some devotees installed at GM.

I have mixed opinions of this. 2 years ago, our prius’ battery caught on fire.

My daughters and I were coming home from shopping. When we pulled into our driveway, we saw that the parked Prius’ windows were all black. I thought someone had painted them. I opened the door, and smoke started pooring out.

No one had driven the prius since the day before. We are very lucky it was not parked in our garage because our house could have caught on fire.

Anyway, Toyota was horrible (insurance was great).

Before the fire, there had been a service notice about getting the prius fixed, but it was not a recall. Toyota never said there was a risk of the battery catching on fire. We also had a check engine light that had been going on and off.

We took it to the dealership, but the dealership said there was no rush to fix our car. We wanted to wait a week because summer was about to start and I could go without a car.

Within a week of taking it to the dealership and before we actually had it fixed, the car caught on fire.

Here’s a link to the pictures of our car:

I think Toyota should have sent out notices to Prius owners that a fire could start with their batteries if they didn’t get the problem fixed. But, Toyota never did.
