Thats a thought although some have a blind kind of loyalty there.

Bottomline is you don't get to be number one in the world by being nicey nice. Every corporation does things like this. Thats how the world works. Whether its nike, walmart, ralph lauren, toyota, etc.

No, thats way too broad a generalization - Toyota is in fact, one of the worst at all this and definitely the worst in the industry.
Its the real basis of their last 16 years of success - and this plus a long run earlier of exploiting their supplier base are possibly most of the whole story.
Toyota thru this exploitation is creating other unnecessary pain and suffering as well, particularly in the United States.

This is like being shocked to find out soldiers kill people.

No, not really - its the difference between how the United States and Japan conducted themselves as Nations during World War Two.

Yeah, that was my impression too. They fail to see that those sullied parts are coming here to be assembled too.
And Toyota actually felt they had to respond to this and yet the main news channels didn't see fit to report it?? You're right, they have some serious pull

Unbelievable really.
I can predict how they're hoping to handle it - part of that is in play right now - on this forum.
Maybe this will lead to other things - like their real world safety performance record and what exactly their 'marketing' activities entail - and who's been paid what and how to do what and how - and when.
Somebody needs to organize a worldwide boycott - it would only take a week or two of that to affect massive and desirable change.
