Bad Toyota! BAD!

I remember not too long ago, when the whole Toyota faulty accelerator pedal came about, and Mr Toyoda himself got on TV and shed tears about how sorry he was for this problem and assuring us that Toyota is and always has been the very best in safety.

Well today it turns out that Toyota was actually hiding the defects in their workmanship. Some safety record that is.

Toyota is of course being fined the maximum penalty, which is a record 16.4 million, but a far cry from the more than 25 lives that were potentially lost because of somebody trying to sweep this under the rug while maximizing their pockets.

I wonder if this helps them sleep at night....

Furthermore, it can only make one wonder if that's not the only thing they've been hiding throughout their long history in auto safety, and just 'how safe' ARE Toyota cars?
