Toyota is just getting the shit kicked out of it lately.
They were sued, lost and just lost the appeal.
The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a $4.3 million award against Toyota Motor Corp. for using another company's patented technology in gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, including the top-selling Prius, Bloomberg News reported today.
Yep, they stole technology from another company to make their Prius. Guess they are not all the technology leaders they pretend to be.
Being "top dog" means everyone else is working to knock you off, the media has finally turned on them.
