Only 7,724 vehicles???? Made between March 2006 and September 2007? The product was a flop! How the hell does Toyota manage to pull the wool over the media's eyes? Trust me they have a lot of these models that sell only a couple of thousands per year and production gets pulled.

skip and super, if you recall what I have been saying about the Zimbabwe crisis... South African blacks have a lot to learn about what their government did to Zimbabwe - resulting in the so-called refugees arriving on their soil. And the crime thing in South Africa is as South African is it will ever be. For years that country has had no sense of respect for life or property. Zuma called it straight, lack of skills, education and sorry to say this but morality has made the indeginous South African very difficult to employ. At least 90% of all mine workers are from Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. On security, one can simply scratch his head and wonder what was FIFA thinking.

Oh god... his mujahaddin became Taliban. I can't wait to see his Karin fighters are going to turn the country into a narco kingdom when they take over, and surprise surprise if they tell the US to take a hike.

Show some cobblers Ghosn. Don't buy the steel. All you and your buddies in the industry need to do is hold-out. Or unless you're paying much less than you're telling us. Sorry, but as a former insider I recall that parts and material prices were booked in three different sets of books -with the public figures being 300% above real.

It's not Mugabe doing this. The nation is completely divided in two. One half is sworn to physically making the other hurt for so-called siding with South Africa and Britain. Even if Mugabe handed over power tomorrow there will be no stop in these beatings etc. The press must start telling the truth about Zimbabwe's situation. Mugabe kept the two sides apart for twenty years. Britain knows this for a fact. I grew up in Mvurwi (Umvukwes at the time). The population in the Chiweshe TTL (Tribal Trust Land or Reservation) was trucked in from the Victoria province (Masvingo today) - Umvuma, Gutu, Nema districts, in the early 70's because their land was being given to Nicky Oppenheimer and tobacco interests when diamonds were discovered in the Kalahari sands... The Chiweshe area was tsetse fly infested. Hundeds of people died. And when Mozambique changed to Frelimo in '75 masses of the forced inhabitants of Chiweshe crossed the border to join ZANLA. The war was brutally intense (Operation Hurricane) and retribution on government collaborators - cutting off women's top lips for one - was not merciful. The biggest targets for this were the farm workers - all from Malawi and Mozambique. The Zimbabweans who suffered in Rhodesia's genocide of the Shona - mass executions, intentional infections with anthrax, cholera and typhus fever, can never forgive the people behind it - BAT, Lonrho, SABMILLER, Anglo America, Messina, Rio Tinto, Rothmans... the SOuth African Police, Rhodesian armed services, the South African administration of Vorster. To say Mugabe is evil makes me wonder. The Honorable US ambassador would be better served if somebody would enlighten him.

Paid taxes on the whole amount? How? How would the IRS know about the money's existence? This guy and Goldman are nothing but low 'lifes'...
First Ron Goldman was an ice cream parlor worker that went to return glasses Nicole Simpson had left on the counter. By the year 2000 he was Nicole's friend.
I can't wait to see people's faces when the LA DA announces, "We have been holding the killer/killers for the past eight years..." like they did with the Central Park jogger's attacker.

Colombians (the Uribe clan) must stop smoking their coffee. If they weren't so horrible to their darker skinned and mixed race compatriates this war would never have started. It's an embarrassment that Sam turns a blind eye to the evil deeds of successive Colmobian governments - 100 times worse than apartheid SA's darkest days.

Adidas needs a helping hand in Japan. The stores are unbelievably uninspiring. The merchandising makes the goodwill outlets look trendy. The layout - mens, ladies, kids... - is um... well, not a layout at all. Stuff just pops up in front of you. Trying to find the right section is not easy and the staff might as well be first time shoppers. Worst of all, the colors are so drab... Good lord Adidas! You're not retailers. Leave it to the pros.

Fried Jalapenos??? What the hell is that? I lived in Texas for 6 years and never once heard of a fried jalapeno being ordered. A condiment perhaps but ordered?? Whew... Sarge: "...corn is thigh-high" refers to it's height at the moment - farm talk that is.

Cindy too... Illegal campaign financing and other forms of dirty payments to John McCain through his wife. See the Clintons for the same suspicions.

"My ode to the flag"
Flag, flag, oh ugly flag How I hate thee You fluttering rag
What could be so special To have you wave in such majesty Cinqo de Mayo perhaps Or the death throes of NAFTA I suppose
Whatever it is that nature's bellows Find so pleasing as to blow you full spread Unabashed o'er the hot Chihuahua sun I say bollocks to both the two of you You misreable mix of cheap nylon and yarn

Didn't I say this from a year ago - when I was still posting as 111774? Toyota's numbers have been anything but the truth.
OssanULTRA - agree, this is a meaningless article unless... It's actually very contradictory. Toyota products in the US are 99 - 100% so-called local content. The yen shouldn't affect profits.
I think the fat lady is starting to sing.
