In the end, Toyota is bouncing back very quickly and is profitable during the last couple quarter earnings.

I want that prius guy and all the assholes that made this into a media frenzy to win the darwin award. I buy/sell cars locally in Florida and all of the Manheim and other auctions in U.S. outright banned toyota sales (not just effected cars, all toyotas new and old). Right before that ban, we bought a 2010 toyota that was not under the recalls 
.
P.s. had no problem selling it but the chaos was ridiculous.

I meant to say I wanted those people to do something to win the award. Something stupid that takes them out of existence.
I think anyone who sat down to think about it when all this was going down realized that it was getting at least somewhat blown out of proportion.
The media is so caught up with wanting to break the next big story, that they fail to accurately report.

On a side random note on ignorant fools and things,
When I was in highschool, I was in one of the two IB/AP schools in my county, had to take the science fcat 4 times between 8th(middle) and 11th grade even though I and 98%-ish of my class passed it. Why? everyone else in the county failed. After the 4th time, the county gave up.

Who owns GM? Government with our money...
Who owns media? Government and mostly GE, Time Warner, Westinghouse, and AOL. (As much as we'd like to think it isn't government controlled, it is.) Oh btw 57 troops died this month SO FAR!
When you own a company you expect profits and the media insures that!

At-least we can influence the government to a certain extent.
