Because of the recall yes but also 2 of the big 3 have really made a push in the past ten to years in increase the quality of their line.

 

kia forte looks nice.

 

Actually people can't get TDI's who want them at least a 6 month wait in some cases

 

Nope, and Toyota's approach to the problem is going to hurt them even more than the recall itself. They've known about the problem for a while, they CHOSE to ignore it and not issue a recall.

Going over the US sales, Toyota is TANKING. #3 in January, barely ahead of Honda and Nissan, and Toyota sales include Scion. Their sales went down 19%, where everyone else is improving. VW up 40%, Chevy up 36%, Ford up 25%, Hyundai up 24%. However, Toyota wasn't the only one with a massive loss in sales, Pontiac, Hummer, Saab, and Saturn saw negative spikes. See what I did there?

 

LOL ^^^^^
btw I bought a VW in January over the Scion ..tough decision

 

Sounds like an easy decision to me.

 

LMAO and Pontiac/Hummer/Saturn are discontinued brands.

 

well yeah based on value performance it was a no brainer 22,XXX otd for a XB RS vs 26,XXX OTD for the Jetta TDI DSG inc 3 years maintenance and roadside asst......
I was disappointed at the difference in value
