Makes you wonder, so american news went ape shit, when american competitors had cars that malfunctioned due to american drivers. When American auto's were going bankrupt.
I feel like there's something missing but i can't put my finger on it. 
Bmw and Mazda recently have recalls due to steering issues. Subaru has recalls, Lexus and Toyota recalls due to 270 odd cars having something that may happen involving the intake and debris getting into the engine, so they recalled 270k cars, based on something that may happen.
GM had recalls due to steering and airbags.
But the initial Toyota malstrom garnered more press and even people living near me sold perfectly okay Priuses and Camrys to get Hyundai Sonatas....what the press should focus on is why can't we as Americans except blame for our shitty driving skills?
Also, we Americans have this thinking, "If it is not suppose to do it, make if so I can", that is in regards to the Consumer Reports saying that the full size Lexus Suv slides it's tail out in extreme manuvuers. No shit! But they want the SUV to perform normally when not driven normally.
American press are looking foe a scapegoat, and when it comes out, the fault was the driver, it only took the NHTSA to point that out.
