...NHTSA conducts what would be the first of many defect investigations regarding speed-control problems, all of which would lead to the current furor (partially about Toyota and the NHTSA's neglecting to pay attention to the abnormal number of investigations). The first three investigations primarily involve the Camry, Solara and Lexus ES models. The initial case is opened after an owner petitions the NHTSA in February to look into speed-control issues; it is closed when the NHTSA fails to find a "defect trend...
...this town, humanity is represented by Claudia (Jennifer Beals), Carnegie's mistress and hostage, and her daughter Solara (Mila Kunis); they will be less Eli's allies than his baggage as he fights off Carnegie's gunmen. Not that Eli needs much help. A half-dozen men in the saloon, a dozen or more in a Main Street shoot-out, the whole Carnegie regiment ready to reduce to rubble the rural house Eli has holed up in with a grizzled couple (Brit theatrical giants Michael Gambon and Frances de la Tour) and Solara - none of these armies can bring...

Even Chevy's pickup division is joining the fray, with a "sport roadster" set to roll into showrooms...

Says analyst Michael Bruynesteyn of Prudential Securities: "It's basically a chop," meaning that Toyota grafted a soft top onto the Solara with minimal changes to the rest of the car. Toyota sold 7,600 units when it introduced the vehicle in 2000, charging about $5,000 more than for the comparable hardtop. The convertible shares a platform with seven other vehicles, so if interest in the ragtop wanes, the automaker...
