Toyota and GM recalling 660,000 cars for window defect.
540,000 corollas and matrixes, and 123,000 Pontiac Vibes.

For comparison sake, how many Cobalts and HHRs does Chevy sell a year?

I still find it odd that GM still had this joint venture. I guess GM is following that old Mafia saying, "Keep you friends close, and your enemies closer".

My '72 C-10 pickup was made at Fremont. So I would like to see Fremont (NUMMI) either be a straightup GM plant again, or sell it to Toyota. Just my thoughts ...

Just something about sleeping with the enemy I don't like ...

Gosh that Junky Toyota!! Ford better stop advertising that their quality is as good as Toyota's!!

Read my signature, and keep in mind that it is, to a point, an equation. For a certain amount of gioie, I expect a bit of dolori. For the gioie that most Toyotas give, there'd better be no dolori at all...

Something called media bias.

Really? 3 of the news channels websites have the Toyota story on their front page, and CNN has it as a top story on www.money.cnn.com. No mention of Chrysler is made on any of the news networks websites.
