POPSTOYOTA HYBRID HOAX
In fact, almost none of this was true. Virtually every aspect of Sikes's story as told to reporters makes no sense. His claim that he'd tried to yank up the accelerator could be falsified, with his help, in half a minute. And now we even have an explanation for why he'd pull such a stunt, beyond the all-American desire to have 15 minutes of fame (recall the "Balloon Boy Hoax" from October) and the aching need to be perceived as a victim. The lack of skepticism from the beginning was stunning. I combed through haystacks of articles without producing such needles as the words "alleges" or "claims." When Sikes said he brought his car to a Toyota ( TM - news - people ) dealer two weeks earlier, recall notice in hand, and they just turned him away, the media bought that, too. In Sikes We Trust. Then the pundits deluged us with a tsunami of an anti-Toyota sanctimony . Where to begin? Well, the patrol car didn't slow down the Prius; the bumpers never touched. The officers used a loud

POPSMinnesota prisoner says '96 Camry caused his fatal crash This week, three jurors, speaking to news outlets in the Minneapolis area, seemed to agree, saying that if they had known there was a possible defect in the car, their verdict would have changed. "People need to be aware that if we were presented with evidence back then that there could have been an issue, I believe things would have been different," a juror told Minneapolis TV station KARE. The juror asked to be identified only as Juror Number Six.

POPSMYG | Pending Toyota litigants for plummeting car values drive this suit-crazy society
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I can't see justification for these pending cases against Toyota for loss of value in their product due to the safety recalls now in progress. Granted, lawsuits over harm and injury in this situation are understandable, but suits for declining car values? Everyone knows that the minute you purchase a car and drive it off the dealer lot you see a depreciation. The fact that we have become a litigious society is no defense for these claims that seem to fly in the face of common sense. Also not a crime in the legal sense, though your sense of good taste might feel assaulted: Lindsay Lohan, star of "Herbie: Fully Loaded," is suing E*Trade Financial over a commercial that includes a jab that, Lohan feels, paints her as an alcoholic (or was it a "milkaholic").

POPSMachete Recalled Because It Can Cut You! Serious and funny at same time. If they had thought a bit, Gerber would probably just made the machete with a hand guard but... Millions of people have been using machetes for several centuries and everyone knows HANDLE WITH CARE - This CAN CUT YOU as well as under brush, sugar cane, etc So a lot of folks have to be wondering why worry about machetes when regulators can't get Toyota to see and admit they have more than a rug and dumb driver problem with cars out of control! Maybe Gerber needs to have factories in 10 states, lobby Congress more and they would get a wink and a nod just like Toyota and other car makers have gotten for years!

POPSToyota secretive on 'black box' data SOUTHLAKE, Texas — Toyota has for years blocked access to data stored in devices similar to airliner black boxes that could explain crashes blamed on sudden unintended acceleration, according to an Associated Press review of lawsuits nationwide and interviews with auto crash experts. The AP investigation found that Toyota has been inconsistent, and sometimes contradictory, in revealing exactly what the devices record and don't record, including critical data about whether the brake or accelerator pedals were depressed at the time of a crash. By contrast, most other automakers routinely allow much more open access to information from their event data recorders, or EDRs.

POPSToyota’s Problem Where did Toyota go wrong? Well, producing flawed cars to begin with was a bad start. But, as the following article points out, it was their response to the issues (or the lack of a response) that really injured them.
