    This recently found internal memo is going to go a long way into exposing the corporate mindset over safety issues. Far from being a company where safety was the important guidepost that everyone had assumed; the document glaringly highlights Toyota as the heartless Money Über Alles kind of multinational corporation that everyone hates.

    I bet their shredders are going full blast right about now...

    Now the FBI is involved. The plot thickens:

    I hope Toyota crashes and burns. Serves them right for giving birth to the Prius.

    I think the US government must be loving this. Being able to continually bash Toyota probably helps out those American auto manufacturers.

    Even if Toyota car dies out...
    American car would be the last car manufacturing company in order for me to buy one...

    Then again, I just have a feeling that not many people care...
