Do you drive a Toyota & do you think the massive problems will drive Toyota out of business?

Now they are saying there could be problems with the electrical system which could cause another massive recall.

I have a 03 Tacoma & GF drives a MR2.

I doubt they go out of business because of the recalls. They will indeed continue loose many buyers though. Hopefully they will clear all the mess up. The only thing that worries me is the cars that slip by

and never get the recall work done on them.

Will this hurt them in US sales, sure. Overseas though that's all people drive (Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, etc) so they will still be in business. Just not as good in the US.

As more damaging information emerges and expensive recalls widen to include more models and more years, the loss of revenue and reputation to Toyota will reduce them to a minor player in America. The many individual and class-action lawsuits will also drain their corporate coffers. If, as you suggest, it turns out that the 'sudden acceleration' problem is electronic and not mechanical (floor mats), the damage could be irreversible. Toyota's reputation and integrity has already been brought into serious question; that would finish it.

I used to just hate their cars. Now I am disgusted by the actions of the executives and their attempt to cover up their defects. I have absolutely nothing good to say about their third-rate company and I hope they live up to Japanese tradition and commit suicide. They can just effin' die, already!
