AUDM vs USDM K24 in Euro

Have a look, eventhough Toyota got so many recalls, still corolla still sold most car of 4000 last month. This is because people buy corolla will know its not only economical or reliable or cheap, but can also sell it quicker.

Toyota just don't take any chances, and will recall if any problem is found. Unlike other manufacturers who will do everything not to recall a car.

The bull bar mounts on my Prado were recalled, after it was found that a very few examples had cracked when used over great distances driving on corrugations. Mine were fine, never knew there was an issue untill the dealer rang and told me. They could have just replaced the ones that had an issue case by case (sound familiar?), but perception and reputation is everything.

Toyota have the best manufacturing standards in the world, and sell their business practices to every other industry. All build the perception and reputation of Toyota, something that Fredoops says doesn't mean shit lol!

YOu are absolutely correct Matt about Toyota standard. I think anywhere in the world most people knows the Toyota brand and will buy with a trust and reliability. However the interier in Toyota, especially when i look at camry or aurion are not the same standard as our Accord Euro..

Just a fact, if any of the toyota car got the ping issue like many of you talk about here in accord euro, i am sure toyota would have already recalled those models voluntarily to fix the issue..

If you wish to find out how Toyota got to be that way read up on the American, Dr. W. Edwards Deming at:

and then:

A lot of it stems from the American decision after WW2 not to absolutely crush and vanquish Japanese society, but rather rebuild it into a powerful democratic constitutional monarchy and to help its industries and people; who at that time had been reduced to severe poverty and so amongst the lowest living standards of any industrialised nation. The Americans did a similar thing for Germany and Italy after WW2 and each of these three economies rank in the top 7 in the world.
