news about toyota.

i was redding the news paper, on wheels classified section. there's a note about toyota. "two models rated less average" new toyota cars and trucks after two models earned below-average rankings in a closely watched reliability study. toyota's u.s. sales slipped 1 percent in september for third consecutive month of declining results. consumer reports also found two toyota models had "below average" predicted reliability . those models were the v-6 version of toyota's flagship camry sedan and the four-wheel-drive v-8 version of its new tundra pickup. "consumer reports will no longer recommend any new or redesigned toyota-buildt models without reliability data on specific designed".

Yea, I saw this one about a week ago and they always swore that they were unbiased and what not but apparently this is their version of eating crow on their own advise. It's a shame when you can't even trust the "not for profit" organizations or write ups by the so called "pros". I have even quoted magazines in these forums to be quickly corrected by other members on the actual information. Consumer reports have ALWAYS been more than willing to give Toyota a big thumbs up on stuff without(IMO) all the facts. After years of scolding, I guess they might change their point of view.
