Toyota/Lexus lives and breathes with the Japanese word “Kaizen”

Means continuously improving or perfecting.

There mantra in the car industry you do it right the first time... that was the mistake of Kia....now they try to redeem themselves buy hiring the top German designers and engineers.

Toyota never did that or the Japanese in general they hated foreign intervention thus Carlos Ghon is ousted. But that is Nissan.

My point reputation and brand loyalty is very big in the car industry.
Toyota was even actually forgiven by the Americans and stuck with the brand even after the pedal sticking issue.

People still buy Toyota....that is deep powerful Brand name!

If only VW hasn’t bought Porsche and Audi....Toyota is still # 1 in the word. Now they are 2nd to VW.

For how long I dont know...

Toyota is relying a lot on their brand to sell cars. If you think about it, half their fleet were designed from the last recession. Can you believe they are still selling 4Runner, LandCruiser, Sequoia that were designed from the last recession. Parts are also common between cars, they don't even try to hide that. With that said, I still recommend their hybrids if you can't have a full EV car. I just wish they would go into the EV world and make their design less quirky.

One thing with the Toyota they take time before the make any changes!

Even with there radio for goddesses sake they only started having apple car play and andriod compatible radio only this 2020 selected models.

That really frustrates me about Toyota..to them if it works they will not change it.

That is why having the Turd in a Camry line up and Avalon surprised me.

Maybe they are looking at Nissan putting nismo badges even on a bicycle! Lol

The 4runner’s and sequoias are old school and yet selling! Your right!

They will believe me...they just practicing Kaizen principle do it right the first time before release!

They are getting much data with WEC Toyota hybrid race car.
Too bad Porsche and Audi wouldn’t want the world to see that they got beat by the Japs. They both bailed out of WeC

But both Porsche and Audi went ahead with full EV platform.

Even the ISIS terrorist group buy Toyota Trucks! Lol

fify

Toyota... :facepalm:


Why so much fuss?

Zingston your just a hater!! Lol

Naahhh man, I dig the 4Runner!

Is that where you first started digging that thing In? Lol

Me it was inside a Toyota Corolla DX 1985. Lol

My wife has had her 2011 4runner since new. It has 135,000 trouble free miles. Still drives and looks like new. Dealerships are asking more than half of what she paid 9 years ago.

At the same time I know someone with a much newer KIA. It has been nothing but trouble for him. I got in it the other day and the outside door handle broke off in my hand. It's got half the miles and drive like a beater.

When I was as marketing specialist in one pharmaceutical company one of my boss is a sports car fanatic. I remember him bashing Kia brand as the worst car ever created in mankind.

He said it would even stop on the road once it runs over a piece of bubble gum on the road! That was 20 years ago...I still remember it to this day!

My 2018’ LE is coming up on 50k & has averaged nearly 40mpg. since inception,,,on the cheap gas :ugh2:

My mom is getting 60mpg on her Prius Prime without charging. It's not a bad car, but definitely not inspiring to drive or anything

A snippet of my other piss colored viagra pill...just to water down the confusion.
