    They're big. They're playing in a world game.   
   They have made far fewer errors than GM. They have made far fewer erros   
   than Ford.   
      
   Rather than Ban-Aiding the problem, I'm willing to bet when the models   
   come back on the market they'll be much better than when they went off.   
   Toyota fired their President last year because of quality issues, and a   
   family member took over.   
      
   With the Japanese, and especially with a family member in charge, it is a   
   lot more than making a good car, or making a good profit. The Japanese   
   still believe in "saving face" and don't listen to the shareholders.   
      
   I think when Toyota emerges from this they will have a far better product   
   than they have ever had, and that's saying something.   
      
   GM would sweep it under the rug, whistling and looking the other way while   
   doing so. Totally different Corporate Culture between the two. This is a   
   BIG disgrace for Toyota, and for the Toyoda family members (not a   
   misspelling; look it up) and they will redouble in order to make up for it.   
   What would GM do?
