I said SOME... not A LOT!!!;) I would correct your spelling on arrogant, but I wouldn't want to prove your point!!! :B

And yes, I feel as though Toyota decided it was cheaper to quietly pay $1.2 billion then to fight this out in a public arena and go through all the bad publicity again. If I recall, this is only a third of their PROFITS, so its not putting the company out of business.

Despite all the press that came out proving that there was nothing inherently more dangerous about the Toyota than any other vehicle sold in the US, you still have people that refuse to believe the truth and want to condemn Toyota. I don't understand the mentality, but its not worth my time trying to figure it out.
