I had a Honda years ago that had a gas pedal that hinged at the floor. And when the Toyota gas pedal thing was in the news, I was like "ha, they cheaped out" and was glad I had a Honda. Recently, I believe Honda has switched to the pedal hinging from above though.

But I have a hard time taking many complaints seriously. If you have a 600 hp sports car, sure, a stuck gas pedal could kill you before you know what happened. But a 2002 Celica at 90 (mph or kph) - you expect me to believe that the brakes can't overcome the engine, and you can't shift to neutral before it goes into orbit?

The official number of suspected deaths connected to the issue in the US alone was 89. I'm not sure why you wouldn't take it seriously.

What is "the issue"? Back when Toyota was in the news, there were multiple alleged issues.

I commented on the issue of loose floor mats, on an underpowered car, on a high speed road. Even if it is potentially fatal, I don't see what's specific to Toyota.
