[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I'm not concerned about a recall on my new truck, I see it as a responsible step from the manufacturer. The impact tests are simply that, a test, and not to be deemed a reality. For goodness sake, I don't plan on hitting a concrete barrier on a partial head-on with my truck! If anything, it would be another vehicle which would change the accident dynamics exponentially. I believe that anyone can be seriously hurt or fatally injured in any type of crash, so I take the tests as additional info.

I am amused at the mere thought of the Japanese raising their prices to help the US automakers! Why? The weakening Yen is hurting the US, but that's life. If the US automakers would trim themselves down, and make a comparably quality vehicle they would be able to protect their main moneymakers. I am ok with big business, but even more so for Capitalism - and letting the product dictate the success of the company. In College they used the Harley Davidson tariff/turnaround as a case study, and it worked. The automakers have had a lot longer than the 5 years that Harley had.

I'm a die hard American though, who believes that the Japanese have helped increase the quality and reliability of the US cars. Now, the sport ut's and trucks are next. That being said, I will continue to buy American.
