Pretty sad that American companies are losing to foreign competitors as it means a loss of American jobs.
Not true. Toyota employs more american people than the big 3. They have a plant in Kentucky. And are opening one in Missouri(I belive this is the state or Indiana). And with those plants, other businesses have opened up, as in fab shops for parts near by so they can get parts quickly. We sell to Toyota and our stuff is made by a U.S. company.
This doesn't surprise me either, because of the gas prices that climbed rapidly. Face it, Toyota does have a good rep with product quality and that gets better MPG's.
