Profits! That is all this is about. What are a few lives in the name of profits? Mr. Toyoda can apologize all day long but at the end of the day people will see Toyota was cutting quality in the name of profits. In the name of keeping cars within the same price range as the competitors. In doing so the consumer bought the farm in the end. Not a good showing. Then to call Washington as non-industry friendly? Does Mr. Toyoda realize the US is the largest market for their product? Does he realize he has factories here in the US? In all reality he should provide the NHSTA what they want and be truthful in the matter. |
Well, a whole bunch of Toyota executives are going to lose their jobs over this. Being Japanese, they probably don't have golden parachutes, either.
