Toyota suspends Lexus GX 460 sales

April 14, 2010 10:52 p.m. EDT

 

Tokyo, Japan (CNN) -- Toyota announced Thursday it has suspended worldwide sales of the Lexus GX 460 due to a reported risk of rollover.

 

Consumer Reports magazine warned readers on Tuesday not to buy the sport-utility vehicle because it could turn over in hard turns. Shortly after the magazine issued its warning, Toyota announced it was suspending sales of the luxury vehicle in the United States and Canada.

 

Toyota spokeswoman Mieko Iwasaki said Thursday that the company was expanding the suspension to the Middle East and Russia, the only other markets where it was sold.

 

 

Toyota is reeling right now. Yikes!! :w00t:

 

I guess now's the time to get one. Must be willing to move them for next to nothing.
