[quote pRON aHOLIC]You can be upset and defend them to the hilt but the sales numbers and backups of big trucks and SUV with worldwide oil volatility speak volumes.
Like I said before, I will be cruising in a Chevy soon because there is a vehicle they make that meets my needs.
I am not the final judge on this, the consuming public is and this new big toyota could also be a flop as gas prices rise. Toyota though has the top selling car in the US and plenty of other cars. They won't be hurting as much.
Not defending anybody, that's the point. Nowhere do I defend Detroit, at least I don't think so.
My only point of contention is that Toyota does not get b-slapped like Detroit for doing the same thing. Who cares what else they do? Not relevant. As pointed out in the other thread, we have a Toyota and a Ford. Just like you, we buy based on need, not brand loyalty.
