LOL so a tie with Chrysler is now a reason to cheer?

I read that article and the rebuttal from the IIHS. Someone else said this so I'm going to misquote him- but Toyota really is making the same mistakes GM made in the 80s and 90s from the PR point of view. Toyota still had unexpectedly good earnings, but it definitely seems public opinion is starting to trend downward. I don't think it's accurate to say Toyota makes bad cars, but I think they're pretty average in today's market (ie "nothing special") and people had them on a pedestal they don't deserve.
