I'm sure toyota is at fault. The problem is being hyped up because of GM and US Gov ties, not a doubt in my mind.

If you guys can recall that jeeps were the biggest culprits for the car driving high speed out of control. The reason is the pedals are pushed to the side to make room for the transfer case. People were pressing the gas thinking it was the brake and flying down the street killing people and themselves.

Nothing happened with that. They continued to make these cars for the next 40 years like that.



This kind of stuff is going to get worse before it gets better. I really love the new XKR and if it wasn't for me gettting engaged I would buy one today. That car has electronic everything. The key doesn't go in the ignition, the shifter is shift by wire, pedals are shift by wire. Imagine the kind of issues that could cause if it went wrong.
