Too vague. It's like me saying I once saw a guy walk down the street, and using that as evidence in a murder trial. Very vague. Too vague.

Mainly because most of Toyota's vehicle designs (and some lexus models too) look like complete turds.

And only a Beta software?. They (Mr Toyoda) refuse to give the feds the codes to read them.....hmmmm...... there is more here hiding behind the red Toyota smoke screen. Give this a month and see where it goes. Would you let your family drive a new Camry? And they only have one laptop to connect to the secret black boxes in all Toyota vehicles??

They dont identify any of their concerns other than the temp workers, and that could easily be attributed to job security concerns. I don't think that this letter means much other than to reinforce what we already knew. BuyUSA: you are an idiot

They did that for the 1st gen Hybrid escape and then designed their own- which is why they aren't running away like other prius'... wait- but if that IS the same technology in the first Escape Hybrids... then... oh god- oh god! Sorry- my sisters Escape just had sudden acceleration for a second there. Phew! Thank god she got rid of those pesky floormats BuyUSA- Ford uses a different technology for hybrids than Toyota.

For decades no one expected much better than msrp when they bought a new Toyota and it showed in their resale values. I suppose in some way it's good to see the 'honorable' Japanese are capable of being just as short-sighted as their American counterparts.

Long before Toyota took over top spot in the car business, and far before GM and Chrysler had to declare bankruptcy. This is happening due to the Japanese culture for Business. They care much more about saving face than admitting that they made a mistake. BuyUSA – This has been happening for a long time.
