Im with you granted, Toyota doesnt have to deal with unions Ford employs 110,000 Americans, GM 160,000 Americans, Compared to Toyotas 30,000 Americans employed. Toyota does not have to give their Employees the same Benefits as GM and Ford, the pay close to $1000 dollars in health benefits for every car they sell.
Secondly last year Toyota "Silently Recalled" more cars then they sold last year they sold 2.26 million and recalled 2.38. More then all American Manufacturers.
GM and Ford do more for America then Toyota ever will. Which company is more American GM and Ford. Thats I will only buy American and thats why I love my Chevy.

I do not support Toyotas in NASCAR, nor do I support any team that drives Toyotas. Finally, a reason to be glad my favorite driver, Bobby Labonte, left Gibbs Racing. He may not be doing very well with Petty right now, but at least he's driving a Dodge and not a Toyota!

I'm a Tony Stewart fan. I'm a Denny Hamlin fan. I'm a JGR fan.
I am NOT a Toyota fan, and I will NOT buy a Toyota even though my favorite drivers are using them to race.
Brand loyalty is great - I will drive past Lowe's to go to Home Depot. But brand loyalty is great only to the extent that it doesn't interfere with personal ethics, and I personally believe too strongly in buying an American nameplate whenever possible.

Toyota has done very well in the truck series, also the Busch series, and is now attempting to do the same thing in Nextel cup. GROW UP! Toyotas are built in the U.S.A. - in fact Toyota has more American parts than my Ford Mustang! A true American classic.

If you think they are being supported now just wait until next year when Gibbs gets them winning then you will see that everyone wants to be part of team Toyota.

Easy, Just like any other motor sport. Toyota will be huge within the next three years. Drivers and Team Owners are very excited and look forward to the results. Plus the Camery is made in America and the Monte Carlo is made in Mexico. Sure the money comes back to America. Do you see any of it. Most Americans are upset about business taking their business to Mexico, But we still wont support Toyota who brings their money and business to us.

I will still support Stewart but I won't support Toyota. I'll stick with Chevy when I support a manufacturer.
