The Wrong Party
Monday, March 15th, 2010Given (a) that incidents of unexpected acceleration by Toyota vehicles are not statistically significantly different than those for vehicles from other manufacturers (I read that on the Internet so it must be true) and (b) the questions about the accuracy of the alleged incident in California regarding a Toyota Prius that raced up to 90 MPH and couldn’t be slowed (the brakes don’t share wear consistent with the report, the behavior cannot be duplicated, the “victim” has hired a lawyer, etc.), one must wonder whether the class action lawsuit brought by Toyota vehicle owners, alleging the decrease in value of their Toyota vehicles, should be directed to the media, rather than Toyota.
