Made in America?
So much for Toyotas claim to be "more American than Ford" (or most any other American made car or truck for that matter) :) http://kogodnow.com/autoindex/

GM is the most "American" vehicle. Why? Cause the US taxpayers are one of the biggest shareholders!!!
Toyota's profits might go back to Japan, but they pay property tax, payroll tax, collect sales tax, import taxes, etc etc. GM pays the same taxes (except import tax when it imports their foreign made cars into the US), but they also took BILLIONS of taxpayers dollars in bailout funds.
I'd rather drive my Toyota than Obama's GM...
Are you talking about the bailout that started under Bush or the one that was implemented under Obama? Both knew the consequences of GM going south, including Ford who lobbied for the GM bailout because they were smart enough to know they were next!
