Weird. That seems to be what toyota does regarding customer complaints and recalls.

There's too many truck/big vehicle haters here for my taste.

Toyota fans? Shoot Toyo is GM now, so they fit right in! Don't bother me none.

Plum hilarious thread! Look at those poll questions!

Meh..............GM fans are just mad Toyota has been beating them at their own game for so long and all this buy American crap is just that. CRAP. Tell me what American car is truly 100% American. You go ahead and buy American and I will buy what best suits my needs.

Luckily FORD suits me just fine.

Re: Too Many <Censored> Toyota <Bleeped> Fans at GMI?

I recently had a thread locked at 8thCivic.com

Honda fanboys were jumping all over a comment one guy made about a G5. I stepped in with a comparison of our Civic vs our old G5. I basically told them that the Civic was the better car but the G5 had it's own merits and wasn't crap like some of them thought.

Next morning, locked.

I think the moderators should be more diligent in removing posts that sidebust threads and result in arguing. For instance, there was a Ford post not that long ago that one of the resident Fordies posted a picture of an Aveo as a response. At that point, the thread was done because then it was all about Ford vs GM instead of the original topic.

I don't mind there being fans of other brands here, it's just that too many of them exist to cause conflict where there should be none. We have a few GM fans that do that as well.

Funny **** here . I think they're here because Toyota doesn't make anything exciting no must have car (exclude the Tacoma 4x4, any small 4x4 is exciting to me) or perhaps they just want to look around and be sold on a GM, or maybe its the PCB's.

I notice more Ford fans than anything.

That might be your perception, put the blinders down.

Well, I picked - 'the 50 year fraud that is Toyota is coming crashing down due to the most recent 15 years worth of serious engineering deficiencies which is now catching up with them in a really big way - ' and they're upset.

Do you have your own self made unintended acceleration " Immediate action " placard in place ?

Seriously I did just that for the Toyota Lexus wing over here and they now have two equipped with fire extinguishers - which is always a good idea anyway.

After reading through pages and pages of biased comments, the only posters here that are upset are GM Fanboys. Take this thread for example .

As soon as the word "Toyota" pops up, everyones panties get in a bunch. Get over it.

Et tu, Dana.

How about, grow up and just ignore it? But no, it DEMANDS a response by TRDA fans everywhere...

I mean, come on, this s*** gets tiresome. You wanna police, or try to prove a point, go somewhere else. Cause you are never going to overcome a thread where mob rules. Your buddy 84HP couldn't get that, either.

So either just go with it, or go commando!

PS, I like the new avatar.
