Is Toyota damaging the reputation of Japan?
"TibetanMonkey, the-Monkey-with-the-Bag-of-****" I think Toyota's problems come from arrogance. ******** I dont know if you can lay it all off on arrogance, but when a company grows in size and credibility the way Toyota has done, it is not unusual for it to "get fat" and lose sight of the horizon a little. With all that has happened, Toyota still produces vehicles that are quite good, and the performance of Toyota with trying to rectify the problems that have come to light are, IMO, far better than some of their Generally Mentioned competitors. If you will notice, people sometimes behave the same. A clean face, a period of popularity, a rise to the top, and then the tsunami of hubris. Some recover, some dont. Jesse James, John Edwards, "Cheetah" Wood, etc |

Toyota is not above the law of the jungle, and now it's trying to rectify its PUBLIC IMAGE. Call it SURVIVAL if you will, where other competitors like Mazda and VW are making better engineered products. Perception is everything. One minute the sheep say Toyota is the best, the next who knows. |
