Toyota Comericals

The last post was a little out there my friend, but..

All carmakers have had their recall issues. My dad loves recalling the story of his 67 Galaxie 289 that the carburetor linkage locked wide open a couple of times. Each time he called his dealership, they had never heard of it. He finally got an appointment where they agreed to fix it under warranty. While talking to a young mechanic while dropping it off, the kid said "Yeah, we've been replacing lots of those".

The thing about Toyota, is that they have marketed themselves as being superior in quality over all of the American carmakers. Over the last number of years they have convinced both Toyota and many non-Toyota owners that their product is the best engineered, best assembled quality, and best resale value based on this. Now the veil is off. They are admitting that quality has suffered recently, and that their claims of being any better than any of the other companies are false.

They are simply being knocked of their self-proclaimed pedestal of perfectness, and joining the ranks of every other company.
