toyotabuildingAs 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.

Toyota owners can call Toyota’s customer service line @ 1-800-331-4331 !

GMBack in December of 2009 Ed Whitacre was appointed interim CEO of GM.  Whitacre ruffled his features and a major change in upper management took place including the appointment of Mark Reuss President of GM North America & Susan Docherty Chief of US Sales as well as Whitacre removing the “interim” before his name.  Now that musical chairs are finished & everyone knows who’s in what chair let’s see how GM does in 2010.  Stability was the word of the day from Whitacre, stating that that’s what GM needs right now & that “stability” was him!  Since Whitacre’s appointment & ascension to a more permanent title, he marks the last of the 3 Detroit Motor-groups to be run by a “automotive newcomer”.  Ford CEO Alan Mulally is a former Boeing executive & Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne a former lawyer/accountant, and now Whitacre a former AT&T CEO and even had ties to ExxonMobil.


One of GM’s plans has already gone a muck…

GM is trying to push the Cadillac franchise in the larger city/metropolitan areas & pulling from the smaller less populated areas.  GM has been trying to bring it’s struggling luxury brand up to par with other brands like Mercedes, BMW & Lexus which all have this targeted market strategy.  Very soon we could see only about 500 Cadillac Dealerships, down from 1400+.    Dealers who lost their Cadillac brand and new potential homes for the brand have not been taking well to this latest push sending Cadillac into turmoil.
