I don't see the connection between the GM/Chrysler bailout and Toyota's recall issues.

I'm not a fan of Toyota and I've thought for a long time that they are not worth the praise and admiration and free passes they have received. But we have to remember that bias aside this sticking gas pedal issue has claimed the lives of several innocent people and that's the real sad and important part of this. Not sales or who got bailed out or who will gain from Toyota's mistakes.

This article seems to side with JakeRobb and I have said.

I agree with that.

Ford for reasons I already mentioned.

Hyundai is easily the fastest growing car company in America. This will on;ly speed the defection from Japaneese cars to Korean.

Even I've been appreciating the Genesis coupe and a good sports coupe.

Ugly grille, but the rest of the car IS what a modern pony car should be. small in size (though IRS and today's NVH standards means it's a bit weighty for it's size), decent price, 4 and V6 engines. Great tossability and good performance.
