Mired in what is officially a nightmarish <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/toyota+recall/">recall</a> fiasco, Toyota's getting gang-tackled as it wraps up a really bad week. General Motors, smelling blood in the water, is <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/27/new-gm-incentives-aimed-at-stealing-irked-toyota-owners-rental/">offering incentives</a> specifically targeting Toyota drivers through the end of February. Likewise, Ford is <a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20100128/BUSINESS01/1280413/GM-Ford-seize-on-Toyota-recall">adding $1,000 to the trade-ins</a> of any Toyota, Lexus, or Scion (as well as Acura and Honda, for good measure). <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/27/new-gm-incentives-aimed-at-stealing-irked-toyota-owners-rental/">Rental fleets are yanking Toyotas</a> from circulation. The House of Representatives will officially <strike>grandstand</strike> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/29/second-house-hearing-on-toyota-pedal-recal-scheduled-for-feb-5/">hold a hearing</a> next Friday. <em>Consumer Reports</em> is temporarily <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/29/consumer-reports-yanks-recommended-status-on-recalled-toyotas/">withholding its "Recommended" status</a> on recalled models until the matter is sorted out. <br />
<br />
And now, here comes Hyundai, leaping into the scrum from the top rope like <a href="http://www.jimmysnuka.com/">Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka</a>. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.detnews.com/article/20100129/AUTO01/1290431/1148/rss25">The <em>Detroit News</em></a> reports that like GM and Ford, Hyundai's now offering $1,000 to customers who trade their Toyota in for a Sonata, Elantra, or Elantra Touring. Unike GM and Ford, Hyundai is only running the incentives through next Monday. Meanwhile, Chrysler could reportedly follow suit next week. Honda, for its part, has flatly stated that it is staying out of the feeding frenzy, and won't be targeting Toyota customers with specific incentives. <br />
