I don't see that Toyota has much choice. They have been accused, both directly and indirectly, of putting profits above safety. The only way they feel they will convince consumers otherwise is bend over and completely overreact to any potential "safety" issue.

I heard those things flip easier than a Samurai with a grand piano strapped to the roof. They sneak in to your house at night and stab you if they have old tires on them too.

I also view it as kind of the Japanese way. The are much quicker to take blame than Americans.

Maybe I'm wrong, but from the videos I have ssen, it realy looks to me like the GX460 will make a great drift car.

Are you kidding? Japanese rarely admit blame. Americans don't really care other than to be sued. It's about saving face with the Japanese and getting sued with Americans.

What I'm talking about is that their culture is more submissive than ours.

Again, when they have to be. From my (admittedly limited) experience with the Japanese culture the normal first reaction seems to be evasive.
