Am I supposed to take this as a slur?

I had a feeling this was coming judging by your location.

The tie strap fix is an interim fix until they come up with a permanent solution. As for the frame rot-yep, we've seen a few Tacomas with bad frames at the dealer I work for however Toyota has been paying 150% of book value to buy back the trucks (making current owners VERY happy) on trucks up to year 1999. On 2000-1 trucks they are replacing the frames (and the "kit" contains new suspension, fuel lines park brake cables etc etc)

That's a good one, a "new frame" kit.

Take it any way you want to. My location doesn't have a thing to do with my feelings towards foriegn cars. I buy American cars. Always have, always will.

I buy whatever suits my needs, and I don't care where it's from.

That might be one of the reasons we are now at 9.8% unemployed.

If they make something that doesn't suit my needs, why should I buy it anyway?

That's right - blame the consumer.
