Toyota Will Wipe the Floor Mat with Your Cold, Dead Corpse

As anyone who saw Fight Club will tell you, you don't conduct an auto recall if it's going to cost you more money than just allowing a few jokers to die as a result of your design flaw or engineering snafu.

When you have to do something because too many people are crashing and burning, you negotiate a recall that may or may not have anything to do with the problem.

Toyota saved itself $100 million by conducting a very limited recall of Camry and Lexus ES model floor mats ~ freaking floor mats which had virtually nothing to do with the accelerator pedals getting stuck.

Oh, and the Prius brakes don't work. Well, what do you expect from a hybrid?

Mr. Toyoda and his gang of kamikaze drivers will be appearing in Washington this week in front of a Congressional committee.
