4. Toyota drove the US Auto makers to near oblivion with their "Quality" claim
Now it appears their quality wasn't all that it was hyped up to be.

I am sure part of the negativism is because Toyota is not an American company, but most of it is the fact that the deceived the American public and may still be deceiving them.

Toyota was arrogant in their rise and remains arrogant even in this time of trouble. When a prominent software developer contacts you to tell you he may know what the problem is and you don't even take his calls, there is something wrong.


Maybe The Toyota Way and their LEAN culture bit them in the ass.
