Does this model have brakes?

vash_241987 · 02-09-2010, 02:13 PM

Will it come standard with the throttle problems that their other cars have?

j/k....maybe

Standard gas pedal sticking recall with debut?

I hope Subaru version won't have that problem. lmao

xiven · 02-09-2010, 04:23 PM

no thanks. i like my gas pedal working properly.

You would have to be insane or suicidal, to buy any Toyota right now, or Lexus! I value my life, I wouldn't even ride in one of their automobiles. I fear a Toyota in my rear view mirrors, more than a black and white patrol car!

BLUESLATE · 02-09-2010, 04:29 PM

My girlfriend's dad (a total douchebag) just bought her a 2010 Corolla. I was like... you gotta be f'ing kidding me.

Oh and this guy owns 760Li, S600, and A8L in China. And you know how expensive cars are there. lmao

If it comes to market with the GPS Track Day Technology, that would be pretty sick!

BLUESLATE · 02-09-2010, 04:36 PM

I don't think that's ever gonna happen from a Toyota, Lou. hahaha

Reaper42 · 02-09-2010, 04:38 PM

Hey guys, dont bash Toyota. They are a superb company and one of the largest auto corporations. I feel bad that all this crap is happening to them, but I do think they are doing a superb and note worthy job of taking care of and fixing their mistakes.

But hey just food for thought, all these american based safety complaints, done by our goverment, come only four months after the Obamanation takes control of GM motors, one of Toyotas biggest competitors, who has also (in the past 4 months) released a strong marketing campaign directly targeting and critisizing Toyota.

Could this all be a big conspiracy in an attempt to boost the american auto industry who is suffering for the superior japanese market.

(I mean why would Obama be pissed and do something like this, the only thing he has done for our country in his first year in office is the cash for clunkers program which benefited the economy, unfortunetly it was the economy of Japan)

FuszNissan · 02-09-2010, 04:42 PM

Not to go off topic, but Toyota has never had to handle a problem like this before, hence why the media is having a field day with them, due to the mistakes Toyota has made handling this situation.

Back on topic, I wonder what the horsepower will come out to be

BLUESLATE · 02-09-2010, 04:52 PM

200HP is what I hear.

FuszNissan · 02-09-2010, 05:03 PM

That's it. Sounds like a go-kart

Reaper42 · 02-09-2010, 05:07 PM

nawwww theres GOTTA be at least 300
