Toyota is greatest. We, Japanese, are greatest in the world.

Don’t be jealous of us, you know we hate you people too.

Chevy sucks.
Ford sucks.
Dodge sucks.

Why not go to Dodge now that Tony’s friend Bob Nardelli is in charge ???? I don’t think Tony or Gibbs are that ready to loose week in and week out with Toyota.Too many problems with Toyota I will stick with cheering for Tony & JGR but I won’t be happy about the car choice.

This is the best thing to happen to NASCAR! Toyota has more money to spend than any other manufacturer, and Gibbs has the resources. Chevy’s arent American made, neither are Fords, and Chryslers…. the Monte Carlo and the Impala, aswell as the Fusion, Charger, and Avenger are all made in Mexico…. look in the inside door panel the next time you go to a dealership. My moms Toyota Matrix was made in California… so who is truely American? The one who gives American auto workers a job and doesnt screw them over (Toyota)? or the lame “American” Manufacturers we know as the Big 3 who export their jobs to cheap labor?… better to some research… as for Gibbs, this will be great. By the end of 2008, Toyota will be dominating the circuit like they already do in the Truck Series and once more, the true American car manufacturer, Toyota, will make the Big 3, once again, look like crap. It really wont matter what Tony drives, he will win. He won a championship in a Pontiac when they (Pontiac) were the worst cars on the circuit… Bobby Labonte did the same for Gibbs in 2000. Shows that Gibbs has the research and development, and Toyota has the $$$.

It makes sense if Toyota is giving you a ton of resources. The current Toyota teams have taken a beating and are still working out the bugs for Toyota. Waltrip’s deal was basically a start up operation and in WAY over it’s head. Not one of the current Toyota reams has drivers or equipment as good as Gibbs current roster. Dropping Yeley for KyBu is a big plus. Trust me, Gibbs and Tony don’t like looking stupid. This trio could be a major powerhouse to take on the likes of Roush, RCR,DEI and Hendrick straight up!

Ive had 3 American made cars that had over 200,000 miles on them and never replaced a transmission or engine on any of them. I had a Honda that crapped out on me at 98,000. In all reality a car will last as long as you let it and if you do routine maintenance on it.

Hey Anon, I’ve owned 3 straight foreign cars, Nissan, Acura, Lexus. When America can put out quality automobiles to rival foreign automakers, then maybe I’ll go back to a domestic. Until then, give me imports.

Axel;
Im afraid that this may over-do it since all Toyota teams share information (which is something probably encouraged by Toyota management) and with a strong organization such as Gibbs, I believe they may be able to turn NASCAR into the IRL series forcing all manufacturers out in the long run.

I’m mixed about this. I do want to see all the manufacturers in Cup be competitive, however. This would surely do it.

This is just like Gibbs. Chevy…Pontiac…Chevy…Toyota. He and Penske should just merge and get it over with. Then they can switch manufacturers at will.

Very intresting. I remember a year ago , Robing Miller was on Wind Tunnell and he predicted that Toyota would come into Cup with a few medeocre teams , struggle fairly badly and then for the 2nd year buy into either Evernham , Penske or Gibbs and then they would be a big factor from then on. Its kind of the same thinkg they did in the truck series. We will have to see if this comes true. I bet Tony wont be happy if this comes true.
