Yep, look at'em. Just trimming away at the fat(excessive spending). Calculating their way right through the storm. Man I'm telling ya. Toyota has got a game plan they know things will get worse before it gets better. I'am sure they'll be keeping their eyes on Obama and the dems over the next 4 yrs. I believe Obama may suprise us and turn out to be a wise president. That's what I'm hoping and praying because he inherited one hell of a mess. It will be one sad day if our automakers go under. Greed and poor overall quality makes 2 strikes. We dont need that 3rd strike.
