CNN reports: Toyota skids in reliability rankings.
The Detroit News reports: Ford gains,Toyota slips in Consumer Reports' annual quality survey.
Autoblog reports: Toyota hit hard by new Consumer Reports predicted reliability ratings.
So, is it "Poor Toyota" or "Go, Ford!"? Oh, screw Toyota. We wonder, however, if this is somehow a union fault? If domestics slipped further we'd bet the anti-union people would be all over the UAW for suckin'.
Anyway, glad to see Ford doing better. Sorry to see Toyota slipping. Chubbed to see Alison Alisonin'.
Remember, for Detroit to win you don't need Toyota (and others) to lose. Anytime a maker starts slipping in reliability the end results is one of us getting stuck somewhere. As Detroit struggles to lift itself from poorly engineered cars, let's hope others take a stronger look at their engineering, too.
Read it and weep:

Too bad so many bet their reputations on bashing American domestics.

And you want me to buy a Tundra to replace my trusty Silverado. And at least start linking to some high quality/size images of Allison.
