Please refer to previous post. Secondly it's all about money, for one example is the fact that Toyota pays out the wazoo to make sure that their massive engine recalls on over 40% of the US Sales from 01-present due to sludging in the motors damn sure stays out of front page news. Do you honestly think that some (not all) import brands don't have someone lobbying for them in government making sure that they get certain things done below obvious radar, come on now we live in a capitalist society where money talks and undeserving people get screwed over. You don't have to believe any of this stuff that's you're right, I'm simply stating what I know from my own experience from working in the automobile business and the US Government.
