I follow motor racing a bit, mostly Formula One. Recently Toyota shut down their F1 operation in Koln, just shut it down. Now, Toyota hasn't exactly set the world on fire in F1 and Honda bowed out a year earlier (but the resold team won the whole show in 2009 as "Brawn GP") but I wondered about the sudden and unexpected move by Toyota. When the recall surfaced I thought I'd found the answer. They cut an expensive and marginally useful program to help pay for all the law suits heading their way.
By the way, I've owned American, European and Japanese cars. I've just bought what appealed to me and what would serve my needs. There was a time when there was no US made car that fit that bill. (We made some real turds for a very long time.) But... my last three vehicles have all been Ford pickups.
