First one in 70 years though.

I love how Toyota is talking about becoming lean and efficient, while concentrating on cars that people want in tough economic times, ie cheap ones. They also have enough cash where they can easly afford to lose money next year. However they are determined to make money even if there sales tank. GM is just begging for government money to do what they have always done. They use the government funds to extract some money from the UAW workers and the fat cats keep jetting around like its 1950.

Its really surprising how much better of a company Toyota is today compared to GM and Ford. Toyota is a company on the rise, GM is in decline.
