Toyota gettin' hammered

[Red Devil]

This is just another ploy by OUR government to try and boost the economy, which they are going to fail at. Toyota has been too big of a player for many many years for this kind of crap to happen. C'mon 2012.

I agree, Devil. Nothing will come out of these hearings. Toyota will not admit to anything and the other side cannot prove anything. Toyota is the standard for car builders and, I expect, will remain so.

of course they will. US automakers cant hold a match to toyota and honda. if you get 200k miles out of a US vehicle you doing good. if you only get 200k miles out of a honda/toyota either you got a lemon or you totaled it out. US makes nicer riding and more comfortable vehicles but the lifetime of them aren't nearly as good.

you must not have ridden in an 07 or newer tundra with the 5.7, as far as i'm concerned it is untouchable by any other half ton off the lot when it comes to handling, ride and power.

I havent ridden in the new tundras or really the new upper line of cars. I have an 05 tacoma. while a very nice truck, it has a good bit of road noise. really thats the only complaint I have about em it that they have alot of road noise.

This debate can go on forever with no end. The fact is Toyota and Honda got lazy and most other makes have not only caught up but have past up the BIG TWO. We have seen this with the atv market Honda was by far the best and they knew it so did nothing to improve for so long that the other brands flew by them. As we speak they are still running around trying to catch up. They will get there, but not till some of their die hard customers have move on to another product and Honda has lost a loyal customer. If you still think that Honda or Toyota with 200k miles is just broken in you are not doing your homework my friend. All engines today are basically the same quality except for the Ford 6.0 desiel which was a f-up from the start. Most engines will get 200+k miles with only oil changes. The bodies will fall off before the engine dies thats where the Toyotas of the world fall off the map and the GM and Ford's keep going.
