The smart car has become the darling of the left, a symbol of how much the driver cares about the environment, with the popular Toyota Prius hybrid being the smartest car of all. But beware unsuspecting consumers; these environmental road warriors can be vicious when they turn on their human masters. This morning I watched footage of a Toyota Prius speeding out of control on a freeway, with the

Government Motors is quick to jump all over this: On Tuesday, Jim Lentz, the president of Toyota North America, admitted the company could not conclusively exclude problems beyond the mats and pedals. This confirmation of the scientific method was seized upon as tantamount to admission that the electronics might be the real problem, and perhaps the [...]

Henry Payne; Let the circus begin. Or more accurately, the blood-letting at the Colosseum. After all, Toyota’s federal judges in this theater are also major shareholders in Toyota’s competition, GM and Chrysler. Flashback! - "Those didn't strike us as business...

Toyota’s undeniably made some serious missteps. But I can’t help sympathize with them when they complaints like this recent series of Corolla steering issues that have bubbled up. Jalopnik explains awesomely below. Complainants have compared the movement to being buffeted by strong winds, sliding on black ice, or hydroplaning. They said that after trying to straighten [...]

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night (depending on where you are in the world),This morning on the radio a commentator raised a good question.  Do the Toyota and Honda recalls mean a comeback for North American automakers?  A return to the glory of the 1970's where the North American vehicle was king?So what do you think?  Has the Toyota and Honda recalls made you cons

Oh, Toyota. It’s been a rough couple of weeks and there have been so many missed opportunities to lessen the impact of this bona fide corporate crisis. Worse than a missed opportunity, though, is to actively add to your woes. We get it – nobody likes nasty news coverage that goes on [...]

Toyota must be rather embarrassed. Millions of vehicles have been recalled, and now over 400,000 hybrids are being recalled.I've been saying it for a while. Buy Ford. Ford is the only domestic auto maker making money right now, so the chance of GM or Chrysler pulling through in the long run is slim at this point. The foreign vehicles can be very well built, but you pay much more up front. I've d

The zeal with which the US government has gone after Toyota for its gas pedal problems is troubling, especially after Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told a congressional panel that Toyota owners should stop driving the affected vehicles until they were...

Périodes d'attentes en hausse dans les urgencesLe ministre de la santé, le docteur Bolduc, s'est longtemps vanté d'utiliser la méthode Toyota pour améliorer les services aux usagés dans l'engrenage du système de santé au Québec. Bien que cette compagnie automobile soit la numéro un mondiale, elle ne vit guère ses meilleurs jours c'est temps-ci suite aux multiples rappels de ses vé

I could only imagine how it would feel driving a car where gas pedal sticks to the ground when you push down. As fate would have it, I drive a Toyota. Under normal circumstances I am quite fond of the brand, especially since as a general rule I don't buy anything that's union made unless a trade union has monopolized an individual labour force. I can sleep a little better a night knowing that no
