It wont ( really cant ) happen tomorrow

[Guest swallowit]

but the Japanese wont be annoying us for long imagine what recalling almost 100,000 OF YOUR IMAGE VEHICLE does to your image - the people who own them are going to be angry; you think their friends are gonig to buy that crap - hell no the backlash of anti-trust and the economy will get into the minds of america soon, again not tomorrow, not soon - and Hundah and friends will feel it just wait; 30 years they will have a slump - 30 years after that they will be back some of us will be dead anyway by then so whatever Edited October 14, 2005 by swallowit

If recalling 100k cars kills a company, GM and Ford have been dead twenty times over. Grow up.

uh no - the prius is toyota's image - entirely; the reason why the siera club loves them; a recall on THAT is a HUGE hit to them ( where recalling 100k tacumas isnt so bad )

[Northstar]

Why don't you post a useful news article on the subject that actually has readable spelling and grammer, rather than posting a bunch of crap that makes you look like a dumbass? Stop with the useless topics, and post something to back it up (an article), or leave. If you do not, you will be banned.

[Guest swallowit]

it just an idea, nothing eles

[Northstar]

An idea? So you just have an idea of: "hey guys, let's recall all the Prius's tomorrow! That would work so well since we have the ability to issue recalls here at C&G! we could start a total backlash against toyota by issuing a recall! yay lets do it! that will get rid of all import drivers since toyota and honda have to go back to japan if they issue a recall!!!!1!1!11"

[Satty]

Dude, you forgot toyota suxxorrssszzz!!!!!1111111yourmom

what do you call this?

ok, 75k is close enough to 100k

all i am trying to say is that toyota wasnt known for this 3 years ago, now their most popular vehicle is a problem ridden pinto and its going to cost them DEARLY

[Newbiewar]

lets wave our flags proudly :Toyota: , but lets not fight about it... If Northstar says something is unexceptable, perhaps you should listen... Try to use another author's work if you prefer not to be critiqued...

:lol: Problem ridden Pinto... cost them dearly?!?!?!? :lol: :lol: :lol:

First off, if the Prius is a problem ridden Pinto, then my Grand Am must be... um... What's worse than a Pinto? By a large margain? Hmm... The Prius isn't what it's cracked up to be. That's a no brainer, but one recall and it's suddenly the next Pinto? Come on, now...

Second, Toyota's reputation and crap like that will basically cause this to be mostly ignored. Thanks to the media, their PR, and the under educated sheeple, of course. Blind, biased bastards, anyways... But yeah, it'll get coverage, but not nearly enough for anything you said to happen.

turn on the TV, this really did hit the fan and stop antagonizing me

[BrewSwillis]

I watched a segment yesterday about "small cars" on like MSNBC or CNN, and it mainly featured the Solstace! They were commenting on how the Solstice was really nice, and didn't feel cheap like small cars of the past. The one lady on there commented how small cars came from Pintos, and Honda Civics whose frames rusted out, to premium small cars like the Mini Cooper. Then they talked about how Hybrids weren't really worth the price. Then at the very end of the bit, they quickly said "Just today it was anounced that Toyota has recalled 75K Priuses".

Buddy, get a life!

What are you trying to prove?

Another pointless thread started by, suprise, suprise, Swallowit

BTW what's up with that screen name? "Swallowit"?

Does it mean YOU love to swallow? :o

[Sixty8panther]

The idiots driving the Prius will be very forgiving about this I'm sure, they love to dry hump their Toyotas. Back when they we're driving a 1978 Malibu they had a radio knob break adn just flipped out and decided enough was enough, no more GM cars for them... now they're so biased after reading Consumer reports their Prius could develop an exploding dashboard and they'd still gove toyota the benefit of the doubt.

[Guest swallowit]

and you know that how?

I think you need to be recalled for a possible failure in your english language.

That last comment he made above should do it.

[sciguy_0504]

This thread is hilarious! I haven't heard "slob" be thrown around as an epithet in the longest time. Whistler's comment, while head scratching because I didn't notice any grammatical errors, makes me lose it again and again. Thanks for the laugh.

Finally... he got banned. Now someone needs to ban the rest of the pests here... :D

Its cool, no biggie.

BV: Be careful what you wish for, this place could be very different without several of our "pests." And remember that everyone has a different ida of who is annoying and brings nothing to the site, so who knows, if that happened we could have a lot of people banned, yourself included.

[Cory Wolfe]

I know... but that's the beauty of someone like me being vague. :P

[the_yellow_dart]

Did BV just ask to get banned?? :P
