Toyota Customers and Their Confidence

As the congressional hearings on the Toyota recalls continue on Capitol Hill here in the US, Zogby International released the results of this interactive poll. Although it's interesting that most of the general adults surveyed still believe that Toyota vehicles are more safe than those produced by other automobile manufacturers, it's the information gleaned from current Toyota owners that's the most revealing: 39% believe that Toyota vehicles are more safe than other vehicles while 47% believe that Toyota vehicles are equally safe as other vehicles.

As the hearings continue today with testimony scheduled from Toyota president Akio Toyoda and the resulting media analysis and spin, most will be curious to see how these poll results might change. What are your thoughts of this poll? Are you surprised by the results? In regard to the congressional hearings, there has been much conversation about the intent and motives. Do you feel the hearings are providing a fair forum for Toyota and its customers?
