Hi Carol,
I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Federal policies and how it affects Toyota. I have some ideas that might interest you. How do you feel about Toyota's attempt at making more fuel efficient vehicles? The Prius model has been on the market for nearly 20 years now, but for their standard vehicles like Camry and Highlanders, the fuel economy is just so-so (especially with the large SUVs like the Highlander). I found an article written by Thomas Klier and Christopher Sands of Brookings called Metropolitan Policy Program that goes into more detail about policies aimed at making cars more fuel efficient. "The Department of Energy is administering a $25 billion Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program as well as $2.8 billion of stimulus money directed to electrification and next generation battery programs. While substantial, this approach to raise fuel efficiency is targeting a specific technology, electrification, rather than casting a wider net" (Klier & Sands, 2010, para. 8).
