Nope, I have no problem with Toyota burning through billions and billions in NASCAR, F1, or whatever they think they can do to make themselves look better in the eyes of teh world.
F1 was to make them look respectable in Europe
NASCAR for the USA

ehhhhh.....Toyota is running low on money. The CEO just stepped down due to his overzealious spending in America, causing Toyota to post its first LOSS in...well...a long ass time. The Toyoda familiy put in another son into the position to pull it back into profitabiliy.
As for not taking billions, Toyota is asking for 2 billion american dollars from Japan.

So there goes the theory that the Big 3 dont make cars that people want, or that the Big 3 planned poorly making only trucks and suv's...
