I think his point was in referance to Toyota been Japenesse(sp?)manufactured,hence the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japs.
Dont want to get any feathers ruffled but when I used to go there there were sooooooooo many Jap. tourist I used to wonder if they were like "he he we got you good round eye?" Probably not but it does get your emotions going being there. I guess we ended up evening up the score over Tokyo though. Bad jew jew all the way around.
I will stop before someone gets all "Dixie Chicks" on me.

It's not like Truman consulted every single American before he decided to drop the bombs, you know? They would have to be over 75 years old to even remember it.

Regardless of where that Yota is built or who owns the company, it sure is one FUGLY MOTHER...
My last truck was a 91 Yota that I bought with 64K miles on it. Sure, it was a solid, well built truck, but it had its querks and problems. One major problem was rust, as the only original body panels left on the truck when I sold it was the cab and hood (it only had 100k on it when I sold it). And yes, it dented easily (very thin sheet metal, which contributed to the rust problem), and it was WAY underpowered, even for a truck that weighed 2500lbs. I had to add an intake, RV cam, TRD header, and full 2" flowmaster exhaust just so it could get out of its own way. But its reliability is what made me consider the new Tacomas before I bought my Ford. I chose the Ford because I wanted the higher towing capacity and larger interior space.
All of that aside, though, even if the 07 Yota does have thicker sheetmetal so it doesn't rust out, and has tons of power, I still wouldn't buy one. Why? 'Cause it is one FUGLY MOTHER...
