"Toyota will now focus on other things besides market expansion ? I don't believe that for one instance ! Predatory practices aimed at overtaking market share is the nuts and bolts of Japanese business. They first implement a "divide and conquer" strategy and then insert their own suppliers forcing out the competition. These suppliers often times have to agree to be sole providers for Toyota and decline offers for joint ventures with other car makers. Many of them used the "me no speaky engrish" as a way out. I've worked with dozens of sales people in a variety of businesses in Japan- including major suppliers for Toyota- I've heard all the horror stories !"
So in brief, the competition doesn't have the power to outdo Toyota...right? Yes..that's a real horror story.

"Americans want free market solutions" I beg your pardon!!! You forgot the Doha Development Agenda (DDA)? "Free market" is in America's mouth every day, but they refuse to cooperate in lowering and eliminating trade barriers. If the US build a "fence" around their soil, other countries will follow suit.

Exactly, Branded! The piece of text you copied and pasted from the Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein's website clearly states that those words come from the PLAINTIFFS. How many were there again?

"Well you see, the findings have indicated the problem was how the parts were designed, not how they produced. That means the problem really isn't the supplier's fault."
That's all I wanted to hear from you. Thank you, Junnama;)

Then what happens if those same domestic suppliers you're talking about make faulty parts again? The US will blame Toyota again? Or will they blame their own domestic suppliers?

"You're very naive if you believe Toyota will be allowed to not use domestic suppliers while selling into the US market."
Then, according to you, the only option is to ban Toyota's. Who's naive here?

"That's what you get for doing business in the States because you screwed up big time."
The only thing Toyota screwed up was falling into that trap. But it won't take long before we know more about this political cesspool.

"The Japanese government will save them just like the United States did for GM."
Who says Toyota needs government support to survive?

Hoserfella, what I said is not silly at all. If a driver is able to lose count of the number of children he saw bouncing in the back of OTHER cars or hanging out of the window of OTHER cars then this driver is NOT paying attention himself.

"And again this year it appears the Fuji TV broadcasts will only be in Japanese."
What other language would you see that broadcast? Since Fuji TV is a JAPANESE broadcast company IN their own country JAPAN.

"That was my first thought too. I drove up to Ibaraki yesterday and lost count of how many kids I saw bouncing around in the back of cars and hanging out the windows."
So, Disillusioned......while driving you pay more attention to the behavior of other drivers then your own?

"That is because most of it is labeled as whale meat and sold in supermarkets for kids to get their daily dose of mercury. Luckily, the government's plan to use dolphin meat in school lunches has been squashed, for now. This would have given you a lot of opportunity to see dolphin meat and possibly another spate of Minamata disease to go with it."
Disillusioned, who again told you that you're living in a fantasy world? Or better.......a wishful thinking world! Anyway, forgot who it was but I fully agree with that poster.
"Dolphin meat labeled as whale mate being sold at supermarkets for kids". Sure, Disillusioned!!

Besides, stirfry. Your link to MSNBC, again an American news channel, contains a lot of biased advertisements against Toyota. Shameful!!

Interesting link you got there, stirfry. But unfortunately without any value, because this article comes from AP, an American news agency whose journalists have the reputation to fabricate information. It also seems that AP doesn't really know what "copyright" means..;) By the way, one of the writers of this article is Curt Anderson. Isn't he an American politician.........somewhere in the North-East of the US?

I've seen an imported copy. It was identical to the Japanese version which I also saw. So this whole whitewashing thing is nothing more than a prime example of wishful thinking.

I don't understand why Iceland is being called "tiny". In Europe it's bigger than Hungary, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal. These countries are not really considered as "tiny".

"Nobody brags about winning that tournament."
But Branded does. He/She says the WBC baseball is not important, because America didn't win. Now he/she is bragging about the World Cup Hockey, because America didn't become Olympic champion. America got silver. In Olympics silver means losing!!! Well done Canada.......you totally deserved to win......THE GOLD MEDAL!!!

If the Falklands belong to the UK is not the issue. Everyone knows they DO!!
What's more important is that bigmouth Clinton AGAIN is interfering in other nation's businesses. Ok, she's only offering help. But in a way to make it seem that other nations can only solve a dispute WITH the help of the US. Who does Clinton actually think she is!!!!
"....we want them talking, and we want them trying to resolve the outstanding issues.”
And many nations want YOU to shut up and mind your own business. That's what they want!! You got that...MS. Clinton?
