The Toyota Circus...

So not just US cars, overall I have no beef with this (other than Toyota's look horrible per my style). I agree the media is blowing this up a bit to much, the early reporting was spot on and Toyota quickly stepped up (after a bit of lag) to fix this issue. Yet the media is still hyping this way beyond a logical level it is getting pathetic, I guess Obama has not screwed up enough lately to report on anything else?

Regarding the part I bolded, the only problem is that just yesterday in his testimony before Congress, Toyota's US head said that the current recalls do not totally solve the unintended acceleration problem, and admitted that they're still not sure what the root cause is. I can understand why Toyota owners would be alarmed -- the guy basically came out and said "Uh, well to be honest, we're still not really sure what the problem is, and the fix we're putting in under the recall may not actually solve the problem."

That's the clip "the news" keeps playing... But I think that guy was talking about the "brake/throttle override." Complete spin job.

I guess I should clarify what I'm saying... The congressional panel asked, "So fixing the floormat and gas pedal will solve this?" (Something to that effect) The Toyota manager replies, "No..." Then they quickly stop the clip. GRRRRRRR! He was saying more, but the media only will stop the interview there! Gross, just gross.
