The United States of Toyota: Contradiction In Terms or Issue #1?

In today’s economic times we sometimes wonder what really put us in this position. The Automotive Industry has a big influence in a lot of things and not just the economy. Peter M. De Lorenzo, founder of Autoexremist.com which started back in 1999, did a book called “The United States of Toyota”. Basically, a business story outlining the automotive industry in a provocative tone discussing many “issues” that many of us have recently been brought to light of.

FROM THE UNITED STATES OF TOYOTA – Peter M. De Lorenzo:

“People who flippantly dismiss the fate of the domestic automobile industry in general are simply missing the point. I continue to be amazed by Toyota’s “enablers” — the media intelligentsia on both coasts and certain members of Congress in Washington (who just happen to have import auto plants in their states) who dance around this issue, insisting that what’s going on in Detroit will not negatively affect the entire country in some way, shape or form.”

I urge you to visit www.unitedstatesoftoyota.com and then check out www.autoextremist.com. You will defiantly open your mind to the thoughts and happenings (behind doors) of the automotive industry as a whole around the world and not use in the US.

What about a Mitsubishi Galant a BMW roundel on the hood and truck? They are all over the place and some a quite a disgrace to the automotive race. Yes, I said it… a disgrace!
