:eek: lol! Look how little she was!! Too funny. Makes me smile!

I have mixed feelings about Toyota as a company. They could do far better than they are doing, but it seems like they are going for the "Sell as many cars as possible to non-car people" approach. Their cars bore me to tears. If I was given an ultimatum and had to pick between being devoured by rabid jackals or driving a Prius/Corolla/Camry for the rest of my life, I think I would have a hard time choosing.

That's said, their manufacturing processes and improvement approaches (to the process, not product) are second to few. The works of Ohno, Shingo, Ishikawa and all those guys gave us excellent strategies and approaches to improving production in any industry. Kanban, 5 S, 5 Why, single minute die exchange's, Poke Yoke -- all came from Toyota...

Their cars suck though.

:tup:

:tup: i completely agree. their manufacturing processes and vision is very impressive.

World class vanilla khaki no exciting cars yet please try harder in design group toyota! :icon17:

Toyota Quality Assurance > Nuclear Quality Assurance :shakes head:

Frustrating to be trained extensively in toyota system then work in NQA ...

Agree. Their cars ard very plain but the simplicity seems to work. I also think the entire design dept at Lexus should be fired. The new IS exterior design is a step in the wrong direction and the only car their corporate grille looks good on is the GS and LS. The Acura ugly seems to have rubbed off on Lexus and that disappoints me.
