here's a 2005 that supposedly decided to take off on its own . www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35781956/ns/business-autos/ . Makes you wonder if they're out to jump on the lawsuit bandwagon . Is getting a bit suspicious . You can coast quite a ways with the C.V.T. tranny and the electic motor . Was able to get 99.9 miles per gallon driving from one end of city to our garage at the other side of town . Was lucky to miss most redlights and light traffic .

They don't need to install "smart pedals" in the cars...they need to install "smart drivers!"

Also regarding smart pedals, how about the car & driver test where a simulated stuck pedal Toyota STILL stopped in a shorter distance than a Ford Taurus with no stuck pedal. (http://www.caranddriver.com/features...tion-tech_dept) |

Prius recall
They just recalled Priuses from 2004 to 2009 in Minnesota. I only know because I had a Prius, a 2006, then totalled it right away, and then turned around and bought my Yaris. They still think I have my Prius and they just wrote to me telling me they are recalling them. What is the problem they are recalling them for, I wonder.
Wow, the more time goes by, the happier I am that I bought a Yaris - the value, everything. If I inherit millions tomorrow, I'm going to go out and buy a Yaris, and buy one for everyone in my family! I'll bet I can get 250,000 miles out of this baby! And by the way, Toyota is still the best car, and I'll buy one again any day! |

OK... lets put this all into persprective once and for all.
Toyota has had some gas pedal problems. This is indisputable. There has also been some less than honest individuals who chose to take advantage of that and fake a problem with their cars. However, Toyota did have a problem so, let's put this to rest and stop blaming people with real problems because of a few a-holes. |

Hmm? Probably because GM did not do well in the Cash-for-Clunkers program, while Toyota and others shined? Follow the money! It's all about the money, unfortunately...
