So you are saying this stuff is made up? The stuff I’ve been hearing about for 2 years. The suppression of evidence, the quality issues, the “cover-up” it was all made up. If so why was Toyota answering questions today on the hill. Watched it, they were squirming in their sits an awful lot for guys who did nothing wrong?!?!?

I never tire of humanities ability to rationalize away that which they believe or don’t believe in. Most Toyota buyers are like this. The problem is they are now losing some of them and it was time. I really don’t care what the government does to them. They had different rules for years, now they don’t

I also have had lots of domestic cars and I too have never had a problem. Not sure that says anything more than we all made good and bad cars and Toyota’s reputation was not deserved. It was over inflated by an amazing PR machine that got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and fell of the edge.

“So you are saying this stuff is made up?””

Ummm...no.

I said that in our personal experience of owning 4 Toyotas, over a 25 year time period, we had ONE malfunction. This is in comparison to a Plymouth Voyager that was a dangerous lemon literally from Day One, and was in the shop more than it was in our garage, two Ford Expeditions that were reliable enough, but had countless build quality issues, and Chevy Trucks that had electric window problems, AC units with ducts that routed the condensation under the mats INSIDE the cab, and a safety circuit that policed the correct closure of the gas cap so diligently, that it arbitrarily would not allow the driver to start the engine, even though you had filled the tank three stops previously : /
So good of you to sign up today to set us all straight, being in the car business and all ;}
