So some idiot rolls a Kluger being an idiot, Toyota is shit? Come on man, post what the idiot did!
First. I never said Toyota was shit.
Mate you've completely, utterly missed the entire point I was trying to make.
- There's no point arguing, and no point turning this thread into a my brand vs your brand, USDM vs JDM, iphone vs android, ATi vs Nividia, GTR vs 911 turbo sort of crap, so this will be my last post in this thread.
The entire point I was trying to make (I gonna sound like Michael Moore... but that fat-ass' got a good point):
ALL car companies, after all is just another corporation, whose core purpose is to make a profit for shareholders
ANY brand can produce a lemon or an unsafe vehicle, regardless of reputation
ALL car manufacturer are looking for various ways to cut cost and increase margins.
The history have many examples of car companies ignoring warnings which resulted in deaths (Ford Pinto/Crown Vic, Toyota last year etc)
Reaction of ALL companies (cars or not) when faces with issues that could be damaging to the brand is to go on the defensive regardless of whether they are right or wrong (those CU2 owners who brought the car when it first came out with the pinging problem had experienced this first hand).
PR departments sole purpose is to "influence" the public to the benefit of the company, call that whatever you like, I call it deception.
Past performance does not predict future performance... Otherwise Bernie Madoff would still be a free man.
Finally, your compensation from the libel lawsuit against any company.. Is a tax deductible. Look up James Hardie and the Asbestos compensation fund.
Excuse me for treating all car companies with contempt. They are, like all corporations, a necessary evil for this world, just don't treat them like Mother Theresa, they are not.
