Chrysler Group has managed to out do Toyota in worst start financially of this new year of 2010. Sales have dropped off more than 45% & more than half of Chrysler’s little sales have gone to fleet buyers like Enterprise Rentals. Whereas Toyota has only fallen 15% despite their recent “issue” around the world. According to recent sales statistics the once “Detroit Three” has fallen to a shabby 7. The new Chrysler Group now owned by Fiat says that Fleet sales are reliable, but come with a heavy discounted price per unit sold.

002.24.10 Toyoda On The Hill in the Hot Seat
Toyota has recalled more than eight million vehicles worldwide for various issue with sudden acceleration and unresponsive brakes. Akio Toyoda is now cooperating with the US Government & is himself appearing before Congress this week, while previously he was not going to appear leaving his US GM to take care of business. Toyoda has blamed a fast rise as a company to the recent problems with their vehicles.
Toyoda, is the grandson of the company’s founder Kiichiro Toyoda. He joined Toyota in 1984 & rose up through ranks fast in 2000 became a board member & later was made an Executive VP in 2005 taking charge of Japanese sales and overseas operations of the company. On June 23, 2009 Toyoda was named President.
Reports that Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, Compuware CEO Peter Karmanosm, Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch & Penske Corporation CEO Roger Penske could willingly cough up $125+ million towards making Detroit a railway city. The windy city has a $300 million/year deficit, so its’ own financing will not allow for any further “upgrades”. 3+ miles are planned to go thru some of Detroit’s best-known entertainment districts, including Comerica Park, Ford Field, Fox Theater district & into New Center City areas like Wayne State University campus.

As of early this morning Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc has temporarily suspended sales of the RAV4, Corolla, Matrix, Avalon, Camry, Highlander, Tundra & Sequoia….the same 8 models which had been recalled last week. A recall that could cause the accelerator pedal to stick…fun fun. This recall is completely separate from a previous recall of 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles due a potential pedal entrapment because of a loose floormat.
