I didnt think GM was going to air anything. They had one Chevy commercial, talking about Camaro, Equinox, Malibu and Silverado as best buys by CR or something.
Camaro does look a lot sexier in V6 trim.

That commercial sucked. Was one of the bottom 20 I believe.

It was technically after the game.

Report: Toyota 4Runner exhibits acceleration, brake symptoms
Posted By Andrew Ganz On February8 @ 10:58 am

Toyota’s massive recall of many of its high-volume models has, surprisingly, led to few credible reports of similar symptoms in non-recalled models. Yet a 2004 Toyota 4Runner in California is said to be experiencing exactly the same issues as its recalled brethren.

Deanna Reynolds of San Clemente, California, told the Orange County Register that her 4Runner’s engine surged when she pulled into a parking spot, forcing the SUV into a parked Chrysler PT Cruiser. That story might be an isolated incident – and one easy to shrug off as driver error – except that the body shop where Reynolds took the 4Runner claims the SUV is experiencing such unsafe braking issues that have popped for a rental car for Reynolds until Toyota does something. The shop, Caliber Collision Center, is paying for Reynolds’ rental car because it doesn’t believe the 4Runner is safe.

According to Reynolds, Toyota has visually inspected the 4Runner but has not driven it. The incident is the first reported issue for the 4Runner, although the symptoms – at least from what Reynolds reports – are similar to those that have plagued many of the automaker’s other products. All 4Runners have been assembled in Japan, presumably using Denso pedal assemblies instead of those made by U.S. supplier CTS.

“I strongly suspect that Toyota does not want to believe that yet another model is having acceleration problems,” Reynolds told the paper in an email, “but, believe me, if anyone had experienced how my accident happened, they would have no doubt that my vehicle is in question.”

The vehicle in question was one of Toyota’s fourth-generation 4Runners sold from 2003-2009; the redesigned 2010 4Runner is actually the only Toyota product that saw an increase of demand at the end of January after the automaker suspended sales of many of its models.

The vehicle surged while pulling into a parking spot? Sounds like some idiot accidentally smashed their gas pedal, and wants toyota to fix it by jumping on the bandwagon.

Durring the game yesterday, Toyota officially recalled 270k Priui. And all Priui are made in Japan. Ouch.
Expect a lot more people to flip out over this.

Awesome :lol:

Very long Toyota ad apologizing that I saw tonight. Said they stopped production to fix their cars since they care so much about us.

There is a commercial on the radio saying the same stuff as well. "Our service centers will be open extra hours to make things right" blah blah blah

At least Toyota will be remembered as "doing the right thing" in the eyes of an average individual. :lol:

They also recalled the HS hybrid model. Not goooood.

Total recall number at about 8.5 Million now....

Wow

Add another 7,300 Camrys now for break fluid leaks:http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-r...rake-tube.html

I guess they are coming clean with all of the recalls they beat down now?

Yeah after constant pressure...I thought they were different than GM and Ford :rolleyes:

Now if only Honda could be taken down a notch... I was talking to a kid over the weekend who said he'd never buy an american car and then told me to let him know when my car hit 120k :rollseye: I offered to call Kasey with almost 200k on his before the rebuild and he had nothing to say. He restated his 94 Accord was superior to any american car and changed the subject. :lol:

Exactly. People are wondering why all of the sudden so many Toyotas are having so many problems all at once. The problems have always been there. It's a cumulative effect of years of sweeping the issues under the rug.

So you purposely want peoples lives to be put in jeopardy, so you can look cooler to your tool bag friends, and American car companies can look better in the eyes of the public?!

I think this is the dumbest thing I've heard today, but hey it's only 11 AM.

Anything that would take Honda "down a notch" would involve a pretty major recall. Major recalls happen over safety issues.

Yes, my friend you've never met, spoke to, or even heard of before that moment is an immediate tool bag.
Yes, I want 1000's of people to die to make american car companies look better.

Assumption making is fun.
