At recent congressional hearings on CAFE mpg requirements, all the big 3 automakers stated that higher MPG requirements would hurt them. Toyota stood up and said. We have no problem with higher MPG requirements. Toyota knows that the easiest way for most automakers to lower their CAFE numbers is provide hybrid cars. The easiest way for them to do that is to purchase the technology from Toyota.
Any source to even remotely support your three claims ?
Or is this just an attempt to slam GM , Ford , Chrysler and puff toyota based on false information ?
I've got 50-60 links that paint a far different picture than your post - that in fact , GM , Ford , Chrysler , the UAW ,
and toyota are in rare complete agreement on the
two issues discussed before this sub commitee .
Matter of fact and public record all parties concerned made sure thru their lobbyists , speech writers , PR people , ETC ,
and prepared testimony that they were completely in sync .
Also as a matter of fact and public record during the week
before the hearing they
all reviewed each others presentations , key points/talking points and prepared testimony
to make sure it was a united front and message that they presented to the sub committee .
I would be happy to show you what that is if you really want to know .
Worth noting , Honda , the ever present CAFE champ in the real world was not invited to the hearing . Gee , I WONDER WHY toyota was and Honda wasn't . Careful , its most likely a multipart answer .
What do you guys do - just make this stuff up?
