Last time I checked, GMI wasn't the one writing these articles. YAHOO wrote the article, not us. If a recall article mentions recalls world-wide for GM, it's going to get posted regardless.

If this were an American car company, you would see this as big news on TV but because it's Japanese you'll see nothing!

Because it's a GM site--do you get it? At least it pretty much stays on this site. But if were a GM recall, it would be broadcast on TV and it would be big news.

the most surprising thing...these hondas wont take a hit at all in the consumer reports rankings.

They're too old to be considered in the survey.

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember the faulty Ford ignition switch recall of late?
Plastered ALL over the net and the news ! They were ALSO
older vehicles. But alas FORD is BAD and evil and still builds JUNK!

But MIGHTY yota does the same thing and not a mention anywhere
but here !

Funny tho. check out tundrasolutions.com Those yota nuts are
in such denile over the new camry transmission troubles they
locked the thread or any other yota problem thread!

And the GM haters and rice fans bust our chops over here !
Try ANY of that at the rice forums and you are BANNED
chop-chop!!!!!!!!!..................geo

Well at TN there is a thread dedicated to the Tranny problems.
Here: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t128303.html A Member named SuperGoop is building a data base on this problem. Very interesting. No I have to disagree, people that own Toyota's are not in denial. I will also disagree on the Ban-Stick over there to what you said...well..unless it breaks the TOA...no different then any forum.

BTW: What does Chop-Chop mean?

EDIT: grrr..more typ0's

[sonjaab]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
39 pages and counting on that forum over the 07 transmission problems!
Well at least they haven't locked the thread YET nor stuck their heads
in the sand......................

For the record I HAVE NOT registered or posted in either of those forums!
I just lurk and smile.........................

chop-chop.......ie: in a hurry, fast , now, git r done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not meant to be a racial slur or insult to any group of people!

It's bias indeed. Some of these guys aren't quite grown up yet. Otherwise you wouldn't see them praising on negative things when come to their competition. It's OK to be confidence, but should never put down the competition to make one looks better. This will only show a lack of confidence on their parts. Its apply to all things in life in general.

Example;
A cup half empty vs. a cup half full. Which one would one chose?

Now back to the recall... I would have to give Honda credit for going forward to fix the problem even though its an older vehicles.

Oh brother!

If sports teams had this attitude every game would end in a tie...

It's competition..."us vs them"...right or wrong...I don't think it a such a bad thing...


I also hope you post such to those who cheer on GM's issues when their next recall comes to light...

No pun intended GMCSonoma. I will as I see it works both ways. My response was for people to be more open minded instead of praising on negative things just to put the competition down.

I agree with the sports teams analogy and competition, but don't you agree some of the statements toward other vehicle manufacturers are little over board?

Maybe when you have a larger presence at this site you can say we're not grown up for being happy over this, but in the meantime, no offense, but be quiet.

[GMCSonoma]

I agree in principle San...there are many who ARE overboard on BOTH sides of this...my point is IF it is against GM...it is OK...if it is against an import...the "balance seekers" are quick to point a finger and scream racism!
Sorry San....not in the car market...as far as 2 competing hospitals or schools, for example...Sure!

All people are prejudiced, racist or biased...sure it's taught...but to deny it altogether or accuse (not you San, but others) is sheer ignorance on their part...

Just because San has 66 posts doesn't mean he/she can't have an opinion...this is a DISCUSSION board...so we DISCUSS...OK?
IMO, SAn isn't trolling unlike others here...
Keep that in mind when you tell someone to be quiet...which I hope is not again...
