Toyota is quaking in its boots.

This article couldn’t be more off.

Toyota, Honda and Hyundai will make a killing in the next few years because people aren’t going to want to buy Government built vehicles. Period.

Simply because the name is American, doesn’t mean it can’t be unAmerican. The business model for GM and Chrysler is not the government’s business model made for them. And THAT my friends, is anti-American.

This guy is dreaming. Toyota makes one misstep in 70 years and it's all over, while the Detroit three have stepped in so much crap on a continuous basis their shoes would make a pig farmer puke. Remember, Toyota is still run by Toyota managers, who have rarely made the same mistake twice, while GM, Ford and Chrysler still have all of those middle and top management chuckle heads who got them into four decades worth of trouble in the first place. Plus I don't see the UAW giving up all those counterproductive work rules they hold so dear.

It's continuous improvement versus continuous implosion. Guess who wins?

What a load of crap. This has to be satire.

How many people here who refuse to buy an American car, bitch about Walmart buying from China?

I’ll believe it when I see it. Sounds like some phenomenally wishful thinking. I highly doubt the big three emerge as the well oiled machines the author predicts. In fact i’m fairly confident that Toyota will still enjoy better management. It also is really hard to win back customers who have been driven off by decades of arrogance and inferior products when they have found companies that have met their needs well. If i’ve had Toyotas for the last fifteen years say and everyone of them has given me a positive ownership experience I really doubt it would be that easy to get me to switch from something that has worked so well for me.

I don’t care at all about cars.
I’m going to ride the Unicorn that Barack promised me. It’s going to arrive any day now.

One of the most ludicrous articles I’ve ever started to read.

[chatham]

With the Illegal,Unfair and Unbalanced treatment of the shareholders in the Faux Bankruptcy of General Motors and as A Union Man oif 50 years and as an Owner and Operator of a Union Mechanical Contracting and Engineering C. I will never buy a car from GM again.

About 15 years ago I owned 15 trucks and 5 Cars all American and mostly GM including 4 Cadillacs.
I was committed to American Cars.. “NEVER AGAIN”

[Thorin]

It’s enjoyable reading an article not filled with hatred for American manufacturers for a change.

Mr Elias, slowly now ... set down the bong, and if you can still walk, move away slowly ...

[Antoninus]

Is this guy kidding? Toyota will have no fear of "Government Motors." Soon they will be competing against the US equivalent of Yugo. And the result will be that GM and Chrysler's market share will plummet. They'll hang around because the feds and state governments will insist that all fleet purchases are of Government Motors' cars.

The Japs, Koreans, Chinese, Germans and Ford are licking their chops at the opportunities this gives them to rack up market share.

This is a joke....right???

Clearly this barfatorial was written by one oscumbo's minnions.
