They make some ugly cars
They've been running it on TV for the past few days. They've gotta do what they can to try to minimize the damage. I can't blame them.
Classic example of why I think "Toyota = nothing" and always have. I won't say they never made any good products- they've had a few. But mostly they spent the past 3 decades using their ads, magazine articles, and all manner of media to create and nurture a PERCEPTION of superiority. This is just another example of the Toyota perception spin cycle, kicked into overdrive.
All fluff, no substance.

This is similar to what I told my friend yesterday. I said Toyota is riding their own wave of reputation they spent a long time building. Such that, most consumers become brain washed into a single group. This was made fun of in the Chevy commericals with the individuals wearing shirts that said, "everyone." And the rest is history....

All B.S. don't forget the reason for the recall was because they were "exposed" by the news...Next day they had the recall personally i think it is in the electronics and not the gas pedals or floor mats or the loose nut behind the wheel

You forgot a line of dependable vehicles too.

If your a Toyota owner than you may fall for all that garbage in the ad and reputation building truth is they were "experts" at covering up. They bought and paid to keep the State Farm insurance companies out of the headlines and they only recalled because they lost spin control and it got too big. Toyota owners will be in denial and then whine about how Fords roll over and Dodges catch on fire. I wouldnt have bought a Toyota before and I sure wouldnt now either.

A line of average vehicles.

I have no words for how much I utterly despise the kind of music they play in the video. Sounds like a Danny Elfman track. Utterly feminized, emasculated (crud). It made me lose respect for Toyota, again.

Personally, the secretive corporate culture of Japan makes me feel they cannot be trusted. I mean really, since the redesigned Camry came out with throttle by wirethey have been hiding this problem? Clearly they've nurtured an image, which is completely false. TOYOTA= Turns Out You Oughta Try American; The One You Ought To Avoid.

Right you are, and yes, Detroit put out some outright s*** for a couple of decades.
But just how long (and how much more of this recent news) is it going to take (IF EVER, from what I see of the populace's attitudes/perceptions) to un-brainwash, and un-sheeple the U.S. public away from their TOYS and Japan, Inc. products???!!!
Especially now that the Big 3 are on par with (or superior to) your Japan, Inc.
