In light of Toyota’s struggles, some people think hara-kiri – honorable suicide – is in order for Toyota’s top brass. They could start by driving one of their own cars.


According to Forbes magazine, the most dangerous place to be is Afghanistan's Khost Province. The second most dangerous: inside a Toyota Camry.


Toyota gas pedals get stuck. Breaks in the Prius don’t work. Even its “new car smell” is noxious.


Anyone think we bailed out the wrong carmakers?


Toyota Prius. Or as drivers call it: the Toyota Pray-for-us.


Bad time to be a Toyota owner. Gas pedals get stuck. Breaks don’t work. But, hey, at least the “check engine” light isn’t blinking.



Other carmakers are offering a $1,000 if you trade in your Toyota. What they don’t tell you is that the $1,000 is coming out of your taxpaying pocket.


People are now reporting faulty breaks in their hybrid Toyota Priuses. So as you’re hurdling towards an intersection at 125 MPH, at least you can know you’re helping the environment along the way.


To monitor how the world’s oceans are changing, Europe is funding the Jason – a high-tech altimeter spacecraft. Do we really need to go to space to monitor the oceans? Isn’t the beach a little closer?
