The facts:
20,451,000 Toyotas sold in U.S between 2000-2009
34 deaths reported because of potential problems with recalled Toyotas from 2000-2009
Or 1 death per 601,500 cars sold
Or 3.4 deaths/avg. per year
Compared to 110 deaths in 1999 to occupants of animal drawn vehicles
The conclusion:
Toyota does not have a safety problem
In fact we should marvel at the safety record
One needs to ask: who will gain from encouraging the so called “safety problems?”

Who knew Toyota would care about the safety of their customers?
ReplyDeleteI'll venture a guess as to who would benefit from Toyota's bad PR as a result of their "safety problems"... maybe GM?
ReplyDeleteWait, is that General Motors, or Government Motors?
It's like having the referee play for the other team.
