The Toyota stuff on the news is way overblown. If you wanted to change car irrespective of the recent problems Toyota's experiencing, then do so. If you are changing car, wasting money just to avoid Toyota, then I think it's not worth it.

I agree with BG. I am sure other cars have a lot other recalls and problems. They are just not being reported like a big deal on news.
I am wondering why these news all surface just now... I don't believe that "domestic cars" are totally problem free.
Massive General Motors Recall Over Fire Hazard
Date Published: Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
In the wake of a humiliating government bailout, its CEO’s forced exit, and talk of a possible bankruptcy, General Motors Corporation is now facing a massive recall. The automotive giant just initiated a recall of nearly 1.5 million defective cars over concerns of possible engine fires, Market Watch reported. The affected cars were manufactured between 1997 and 2003 and include the following model years and makes:
* 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
* 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix
* 1997-2003 Buick Regal
* 1998-2003 Chevrolet Lumina, Monte Carlo, and Impala

Then this is from Ford:

Leasing is only good for business, you pay by the month,
all expensive write off as expenses. No service required other
than gasoline. Not even bother to do scheduled maintenance,
return and upgrade after 2 years. Never consider buy-out,
you hardly have any equity in the car, that is, you will be paying
more than the market rate of an used car. All you have paid in
the first 2 years would be just leasing expenses.
