However...

"the cost of protecting the company's bonds against default has risen. The price on five-year credit default swaps linked to Toyota’s debt widened by about 40 basis points between Jan. 15 and Feb. 9, as the world’s biggest automaker expanded its recall in the U.S., according to data compiled by CMA DataVision."

This definitely closes the gap between Toyota and domestic auto makers, but I don't think Toyota will go bankrupt.

Toyota is huge and they are not going anywhere.

that is just public perception, the same perception that dogged japanese vehicles for such a long time.  toyota and honda havent been producing anything better quality for years.  the difference is negligible.

are Toyotas, on sale or cheaper right now because of all this?

Typical Americans. We always think that just because it happened to someone else then it won't happent to us. We're always in that mindset as a whole. Just recently there was another report of a person's Toyota acting out of control in New York. Why are people so stubborn to the fact that Toyota has flaws in its manufacturing of vehicles? Its not as reliable as people make it out to be.

How is that the case? ChrisPhenom said at the end of the day he's still going to buy a Toyota. And I'm basing off of what other people in the thread are saying and based on some of the comments it seems that Toyota can do no wrong and that these incidents won't happent to them. Thats all I'm saying.

They're giving out special incentives such as 0% APR for 60 months.

Not that short - still avoiding the American cars that are on par with counterparts.  Lazy line worker stereotypes are further than ever from reality these days, quality is up, and folk still bash the home team.

You can't help but to sit back and here all these comments on this thread. Its obvious that most people on NT are import lovers anyway so the bias is rampant here. Ford is about to outpace Toyota in sales and it was well on pace even before the Toyota problems. Most people on here still won't give them a sniff.

Considering that Ford just outsold GM and Toyota last month, who really cares if people on NT won't give Ford a sniff. Sounds like your biased to me.

And you overgeneralize way too much. Word to your Japanese taking L's thread. You are going to compare a PS3 glitch to a possible glitch on Toyota's ECUs? Where were you when the Y2K glitch occurred and some older computers failed? Did the whole world take a L for that?

Your statement rests my case. I have had both type of cars so no way I am being biased, but most of the NTers in here are. Y2K was a big conspiracy in which numerous technology companies boomed. That was the same time the dot com boom happened. I am only agreeing with raburns04 that the American cars are on par with their counterparts and that people still have a negative feeling about them still. The way I see it is people here are biased towards foreign cars regardless of what problems they might have because "nothing can happen to them."(sarcasm)

They'll lose some future customers, but bankrupt, nah.
