US Double Standards

Remember when there was the US tyre company scandal, just a couple years ago. Goodyear was it? Everyone in the industry knew the problem and knew that many accidents had been caused by some rubbish tyres. There was a cover up initially and many denials.

Now Toyota has found a problem with the accelerator pedal on millions of its cars. Problem identified, solution worked one, repairs scheduled ... No expense spared.

Today I read that the US government has advised Toyota drivers in the USA to stop driving their cars and to demand a repair.

Well, that's one way to boost the image of your own companies: pour rubbish on the competition. Especially when the competition usually runs rings round you.

Very shabby.
