SB & MK, did you ever consider buying a vehicle from a US based company? There are plenty of GM vehicles that get over 30MPG and offer flex fuel models. Wonder why the US ecomony is so bad…we import more than we export. Try looking up recalls by manufacturer. Now that Toyota is the top auto company they have the highest number of recalls. That comes with volume. The more you produce the more mistakes you will make. But by all means, go ahead and enjoy driving your Japanese vehicle while every day more Americans keep losing their jobs.

SB, we find ourselves in a similar position. Oddly, we’ve been trying to buy as few Chinese products as possible when we learned about the quality problems (lead paint, etc.) with some of their products and the labor issues the Chinese people were forced to endure. China, as a communist country, I would expect such problems but on the Japan mainland I wouldn’t.

That is disheartening. I have been a Toyota/Lexus fan for years. Maybe I should drive an Acura? solicitor bulgarias last blog post..Bulgaria Lawmakers Pass Flat Tax Reform

Silence, I haven’t even read the full report, but what I learned with the snippets sent to me made me cringe.

Do I think other companies cut corners too? Where local laws allow this, most likely. Still, Toyota has gotten to where they are today on the back of a very supportive Japanese government and by exploiting workers in various countries.
