Oh Auto trouble? That's a Monday ouchie!
Looks like the Transport Ministry found out the hard truth that Japanese automakers have been playing the ol' switcheroo with their data. Toyota's stock took a 5.4% dive faster than a Mark 42 malfunction!
Stocks in a Tailspin Not Hovering Like My Suit
Toyota lost 2.45 trillion yen in a week! That's more than the cost of a new Iron Man suit every day. Mazda followed with a 7.7% drop. Someone tell these companies that Tony Stark doesn't approve of fake numbers!
Honda Suzuki Yamaha... Are we hosting a party for car mishaps?
The Ministry's inspection dragged Honda Suzuki and Yamaha into the party of falsified test data. These companies lost their cool but hey at least they're trending up now.
Whoops! Did someone say crash test?
Toyota and Mazda got a little too creative in their crash tests using vehicles that were clearly meant for speed rather than safety. Looks like they need lessons from Iron Man on the real meaning of crash testing.
Halt Shipments Halt Scandals That's How Tony Stark Rolls
Toyota and Mazda had to pump the brakes on their models after the scandal surfaced. Maybe they need to hire me Iron Man for quality control! I can do inspections while saving the world at the same time.
Daihatsu Dilemma Another Day Another Automaker
When Daihatsu hit the breaks on their shipments due to safety concerns it was like a mini Civil War in the auto industry. Just remember with great power comes great responsibility...and a decent crash test report.
