[quote=svelte][quote=flu]…I just don’t think this particular incident adds/detracts to Toyota’s safety record.[/quote]
Probably not, but I still think Mr. Karma is alive and well somewhere.
Here is the ad that Toyota has been appearing on the front page of the UT:
Star Safety System. Now Standard on every Toyota.
No matter who you are or what you drive, everyone deserves to be safe. Which is why the Star Safety System is now standard on all our vehicles – no matter what model or trim level. I’t a combination of five advanced safety features that help keep you in control and out of harm’s way. Toyota is the first full-line manufacturer to make the features of the Star Safety System standard on all vehicles. Because at Toyota, we realize nothing is more important to you than your safety.

Well, this is just marketing 101…If you have a credibility problem with something, just keep saying it over and over and over again until people start believing the opposite.
That said, Toyota just recalled the Lexus HS250h…for a potential fuel leak…The irony of this, in a hybrid supposedly designed to save fuel…..LOL….
Toyota is quickly becoming the GM/Ford/Dodge of yesterday….
Well, I feel better now driving something german Since most everything is a POS in the reliability dept, might as get a German car…Now all I need is the euro to tank some more, and perhaps that R8 will be in range after all..Oh wait, our dollar is tanking too. Drat….
