“A consortium between Government Motors and the Personal Injury Lawyer’s Guild.”

If Toyota folds, wouldn’t Lexus go as well? The lawyers might not like THAT.../s;)

Did they raid Ford when the tires were under inflated and people died in rollovers.

FBI raids Toyota supplier Denso in antitrust probe

Kerr says the investigation is unrelated to Toyota’s recent recalls. Denso is a major parts supplier for Toyota and is one of two suppliers of its gas pedals.

folks, this is exactly how the socialists will work it in health care when/if they get their “public option” — oh, sure, at first they pretend that it is simply one competitor among others to “keep rates down” -— and just how long will admins like the Obamanation allow any companies to “compete” successfully with the govt “public option”???

only about as long as it takes to trump up complaints and “charges” -— raid the pvt competitors, drive all but the govt out of business....

we are seeing Hugo Chavez style govt right here in the USA with the Obamanation

“The easiest way to excel is to eliminate the competition.
Welcome to GM. (Government Motors)”

It gets much, much worse.

“Consumer groups and trial lawyers are crying foul over the Obama administration's bankruptcy plans for General Motors and Chrysler” because “those plans would extinguish all ongoing auto accident claims that blame a death or serious injury on a defective GM or Chrysler vehicle.”
