You are right, but it has been said over and over again, only to be countered by their same tired argument of ratings companies and supposed stories. I made my choice to drive what I want, based on intelligence and personal experience. For me, imports far outshine domestics, and my many many repair bills on GM cars prove it. I've never had an issue with an import except one Nissan. I never went back!

It is sad that people scour the Internet looking for stories they want to believe, and take them as the word of God. I still have met not one person that has actually needed any replacement parts on their Toyota when it was taken in for the recalls. Not ONE!

The media has created such a circus over this... just like with everything else. The domestic car companies needed a boost, and Toyota screwed up at the wrong time, and they jumped on it. The whole ratings game is the same exact thing. When the ratings were hugely in favor of imports, these same people going on about how great American cars are because of the ratings, were saying how fixed and paid off the ratings companies were.

Funny how ones opinion changes when they are fed what they want to hear, isn't it? When domestic cars rack up DECADES in overall quality at the top of the charts like the imports have, then start saying how great they are. I am thinking Toyota will reclaim the top spot soon enough, as they are now working harder than ever to get back the glory. It is actually the best time to buy a new one, as they surely won't be letting too much slip by these days!
