Nov 2, 2008 - Haha, holly shit, retard-man calls me a fourteen year idiot. You leave me no choice but.. to talk in your language.. You TYPE (not write) like a you. That's as bad as insults can get. You're stupid. That's why you think it's crap. Stupid people don't know smart stuff when they see it. I'll get a gun yeah, to shoot your retarded ignorant ass. Fuck off ? The only thing I'll be fucking today is your honor. Please try better next time. Oh and.. ebay sells life's too.

stylin440 Says:

stylin440 Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - since you cant buy guns in france, just throw yourself in front of a toyota. do us all a favor

mekusho112 Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - Holly shit.. You are so retarded. Actually I enjoy talking with you, 'cause everytime you reply I'm rolling on the floor. Sorry gramar nazi, I made a typo. Don't be racist 'cause I'm whooping your ass elephant. ''sellout retarded fuck'', what a come back man haha ! You are so pathetic, I bet your ass never ever went to France. And I'm not French you dork, I'm Dutch, one of the ancestors of America. So don't talk about honor you racist tree fucker. You're the one that's hated here,6 tumbs down HA

stylin440 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - So you think you know about honor? You think that you're a loyal person? You think that buying a toyota because of some silly reason makes you that much more of a loyal and honorable person? What do you tell your father that is barely making it by working in a factory that you sold him out for no reason at all? Don't talk to me about being honorable. Where would france or the dutch be if we hadn't stopped the nazis from destroying you? Don't talk honor to me.

stylin440 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - I don't have a problem if you want to buy a toyota. But you better as hell be living and working in japan.

mekusho112 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - That's nonsense. You seem to know nothing about the 2nd world war, America helped Europe, but in return it got at least 70 percent of all it's gold. I buy a Toyota because I like it, not because I live in Japan. I give up. Feel free to do what you want to. But at least for god's sake get to know about Toyota before critisising it. Peace.

stylin440 Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - Wow. That must have been alot of gold. Especially after the looters and the nazis went through it first. I know plenty about toyota. Too much actually. I will critize them as often and as harshly as I wish. Maybe you should try to understand what toyota and the japs actually think about globalization. Did you know that the japs won't let any more than 1 player on a jap baseball team that's not japanese born? Toyota proved 500% less reliable in 2007 than in 2006. What year is yours?

mekusho112 Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - Sure thing. I don't feel like argueing anymore. Just use google dude. Don't be stuborn.. this isn't a fight over who's smartest. 500 percent ? Are you fucking kidding me ? Sure, sure. Maybe you should know that it was less reliable (not even 1 percent) because of the money it spends building new shit. This is my last comment. Take care.

stylin440 Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - Google?!? Google the reliability for the 2007 4wd tundra! Its the worst of any pickup. The V6 camry is the worst reliability of any midsize car. Besides the 2wd tacoma, no other toyota is better than average. check out jd power and consumer reports. and consumer reports is a japanese held company and extremely biased! 500% is true man. Sorry. Deal with it. toyota sucks and all the corps have their heads so far up their ass they cant think outside of the box for any new ideas

Nov 11, 2008 - When ever Detroit wants to cut expenses they say "how can we squeeze our suppliers more?" and haggle them down to razor thin profits. They hate each other. Toyota sends experts and consultants to supplier companies to make them perform better. They really take care of them.

inagod Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - as a Chrysler A mechanic,Factory reps wouldn't listen,people at the top were not to be found.We saw the problems,better than anyone.Technical fixes,seldom addressed the problem,some front drive mini vans have the same problems,10 to 15 years after the TSB was issued.I tried,as a nobody repairing them,making my own fixes,not getting paid[I was flat rate]I don't feel sorry for American car manufactures.

mageever Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - This is a great point. The Toyota Production System has it's org' chart flipped upside down so that the production worker is on top and then everybody else is below supporting them. They're the ones adding value to the car and in the end have the most impact on what a customer wants. Management should be there to support them. American auto companies need some SERIOUS culture change. It's gonna hurt.

michaelkirk23 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Stylin440...stop making Americans look like flag wearing dumbasses. You are obviously not educated on the automotive industry and if you did your homework you would know that GM and Ford are way behind. My father owned a Toyota dealership and I work as a service manager at another dealership. US cars are fucking junk. Look at the NUMBERS you redneck!!

Watcher3223 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - Not only the auto companies, but also the representation of the workers. Both are stuck in the land that time forgot, as if it were the 1960s. I recall a news conference by a UAW representative who tried to make a point about how Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Honda were getting multi-million dollar incentives while the big three were struggling to get a $25 billion bailout and how that was wrong.

Watcher3223 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - My thought was that those foreign companies were investing in employing a workforce in the USA, earning those incentives while the big 3 was intent in outsourcing their work out of the USA, taking jobs AWAY from Americans. The culture of leadership at the big 3 AND the UAW is not responsive and is rubbish. And, because of their pride and stuck-up attitudes, they'll never change because either they'll get bailed out and never learn to change or they'll change when it's too little, too late.

Watcher3223 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - You reduce costs by always finding ways to improve efficiency and quality while always finding ways to reduce the waste of material, time, and energy. That's roughly the Toyota way. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Watcher3223 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - Okay, you've just made a claim about Consumer Reports being held by a Japanese company. Prove it. You made the claim, now the burden is on you to validate it. Otherwise, your claim is hearsay and will be treated as such. While I don't consider Consumer Reports an authority on many things by a long shot, it's only fair that a request for evidence is made and expected to be honored to justify your accusations that try to suggest a serious conflict of interest as a way to explain their opinions.

stylin440 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - you and your father are sellouts and should be shot as traitors and criminals. Who is number 1? GM. Fuck off driving your plastic shitbox sellout car

stylin440 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - I don't have to report anything to you. Fuck off. Find it yourself.

Watcher3223 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - First, I'm not asking you to report anything to me but asking you to make your argument more convincing to EVERYONE who may read your response. Again, you're the one who made the claim. FYI, I tried to find the information myself and I can't find it. All I can locate is that Consumer Reports is a division of the Consumers Union, which is a non-profit organization based in Yonkers, N.Y. I'm asking you to find that info since you seem to know it all. So, prove it or your claim is bullshit.

Nov 23, 2008 - The Toyota is a fascist company which suppress freedom of speech.

Nov 26, 2008 - god damn youtube must be the only place in the world where a Lean movie (or TPS) ends up with a discussion about nazis...ON TOPIC PLEAAAAAAAAASE...reduce waste...

f1nuts Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Toyota is now the #1 car producer in profit and numbers. Perhaps if G.M. could bring itself to stop building push-rod engines and body-on-frame cars, they'd entice some buyers back. Untill then... they are doomed.
