In all seriousness, I really want to find a reason to respect the enthusiast brand buried beneath the garbage Toyota produces. Unfortunately, they killed all that was good in their company with the Supra. Occasionally, I'm impressed by a Lexus, but they pale in comparison to the far superior products constructed elsewhere under different brands. I don't want to wish bad things on any company. I genuinely want them to improve. I just don't see much of an indication that they are working to improve their brand identity.

Heck, the last Toymotor I liked was the MR2 from the 90s.
With all the garbage Toyota has pulled coming to light you have to wonder how long the lemmings will continue to blindly support them.

Besides, Toyota is just going to pay the guy off and their hybrids wont be banned. Really a non story.

I think the glory days of Toyota being #1 are over. they are facing a ton of problems and not many obvious solutions. public relations nightmare on all fronts
