Hi, the following report from Frontal 21 has made me stutzig:http://frontal21.zdf.de/ZDFde/ Inhalt/16/0,1872,7152400,00.html The drivers of old cars (according to the TV article, this is also true for cars older than 2006) will have to refuel Super Plus in the future in order to avoid engine damage? That can’t be possible. How do you manage that?http://frontal21.zdf.de/ZDFde/ Inhalt/1,1872,1001633,00.html?dr=1 There is also the video from the last show somewhere. mfgg

Hello, the Toyota also only builds cars with sheet metal and less God-made 0-problemo carriages can be recognized by the recall-action-statistics for the year 2007 and the trade-area Germany. Here Toyota is not the worst manufacturer, but we will certainly still be able to explain in this thread what it looked like worldwide in 2007. But first of all the link to the statistics: (It can’t be nice, because the KBA is behind it)http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/. ../hxcms_article_509220_13987.hbs The only distortions come from “secret” workshop actions which are less explosive but nevertheless significant. Only there, unfortunately nobody finds out what officially … (A huge plus point of statistics for Audi and VW, which otherwise certainly are the worst …) But I’m sure that all this will solve to a certain degree so unofficially.

I read an article in the newspaper today that should give you some thought:Japanese is officially working to death The article was published on page 27 in the Economic Section in the Tages-Anzeiger of December 14, 2007. Toyota has a lot to improve there, because there must be no such thing. Greetings Fabio

Fazination Toyota Hello guys, I would like to say briefly what fascinates me as a not Toyota driver as well as fan. 1. All top managers, as well as managers in the middle + elevated range must have worked at least 3 months in the production – manufacturing to get to know the product Toyota as well as to get to know the process runs. 2. “Equal eye level” principle, that is, the belt worker is with the assembly manager, or manger in discussions, improvement suggestions etc. Thus, a more honest exchange of views between the different “levels” takes place. 3. Reputation, Toyota employees have a very great reputation in Japan, who at Toyota has managed it. Therefore, the employees also identify very strongly with your employer, there whole families work together there. Very high sense of belonging. 4. Good pay according to performance, who at Toyota works above average well and a lot, can work in all From the band worker to the top management, everything is possible. 5. More just remuneration for the board members and the chairman, that is, according to the TV portage, the board receives an average of EUR 300 000 annual salary. The chairman of the board still has different options, such as participations etc. This statement came from the Toyota chairman of the board. 200 000 to 300 000 EUR are already received by the supervisory board members. 6. No nestings, a change from the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not possible, according to reportage. I didn’t really come up with this, this came at an ARD reportage (deadly I don’t know anymore) about the Toyota group and its employees, in which the most diverse people, the band worker, Ing., division manager and topmanger were interviewed. It was – how I find a very interesting reportage – that was shown how long the employees work (they have a 6 day week, 50 – 60 S td week) as well as what the Toyota group offers everything for social benefits for its employees. Joint outflows, paid cures, etc. If you haven’t seen it yourself, you don’t believe it. The philosophy of Toyota and its employees as an employer is a completely different one as with us. Only then did I understand how Toyota became the company what it is. Toyota was otherwise just from television advertising, nothing is impossible, a term. This report went on for three quarters of an hour, came at 10:45 p.m. Maybe that’s a short year. Greetings Patrick (BMW Fan)

If you look at the new Toyota models and studies (worldwide) at the current trade fairs, the SEMA and the Tokyo motor show, you can already cry. New Matrix, Corolla or in EU the Auris all models that polarize extremely, the pohl means beautiful and unsightly … Where should this still lead ?? Cheaper and old-fashioned is never possible. There is no other manufacturer further, according to my opinion, who is even less beautiful Cars build or want to build, and that is considered on the outside and inside. Lexus, on the other hand, brings one banger at a time on the market, partly as a study. In those you can expect something, but the Toyota models, just to get rid of

Today I didn’t go home for inspection after the Corolla was handed over, but waited in the Toyota car dealership in the coffee corner at several cups of Moccacino (delicate!) and read in my magazines and books brought with me. Of course, one or the other somewhat more intense view through the sales room did not stop there. At the same time, I thought about how the Toyota car dealerships have changed over the years (since 1991 Corolla drivers). the exterior design including signage. At that time still quite profane with white writing on a uni-red basis, then the time of the silver look and today noble and discreetly in grey. Or inside with the waiting corner and the comfortable chairs, a real bumper with built-in sensors and test button for the distance measurement or a stand with a Toyota-Navi, around which a printed cardboard should illustrate the optical impression after the installation in the cockpit. 8. How do you feel about the equipment and appearance of your Toyota or Lexus car dealership? What’s nice, what else should be done?

Hello, would like to get an older Previa. I am totally dissatisfied with my Espace. And since you hear so much good about the old boxes, I thought it might be the better choice!? Who can support me with this. So, the new model is not financially in it or I don’t want to invert so much into the car anymore. Have I pre-stemmed a model in the nineties. Did the things timing belts or chain? How reliable do you judge the cars? What should you look for? What about rust? Of course, the Renaults are not to be beaten with their plastic car. kermi

A small disadvantage of Japanese cars is that the tank opening is on the original passenger side, i.e. in DE on the driver side. Since this is apparently only the case with very few “real” Japanese cars and I am an absolute “billigtanker” as a professional commuter I often have the problem where? Today the gasoline was again really “cheap” at 1.27 and at the local supermarket therefore of course in the evening on both sides of the pumps a snake of 5 – 10 vehicles each. If I replace myself now like all the others on the left of the pump, I have to pull the hose over the car and I don’t have any balls to put Krazter in the paint and if I am right of the pump instead of there of course always trouble with the other drivers, as it seems I would want to push in front of me. It’s also understandable when everyone else is standing and I just come from the other side. The only solution that I would like to do is to push in front of me. It’s also understandable if everyone else is standing up and I just come from the other side. I think it’s just back in line. It looks weird, but I don’t want to be fooled, just because my box is different than the other cars. What I’m surprised about, there was a K12 Nissan Micra across from me and he also had the fuel plug on the passenger side. How is it with Toyota and how do you do it on the tank? My K11 Micra had it on the driver side, but can also be due to the fact that the one in Englan d was built.

Toyota is no longer a quality primer in the USA, but has been replaced by Honda in second place. This means that they are certainly still tens of times better than other manufacturers, but the nimbus of all outstanding quality is gone. “Motor Authority” sees this development as a big risk, as the cars would certainly not be bought because of the exciting range of models, but because of the reliability. Quote: It-s no secret that Toyota-s production volume puts it in the number one spot glo bally. And until recently, Consumer Reports had placed the Japanese mega-maker at the top of the reliability charts as well. According to data released today, however, Honda has pumped Toyota to number two in predicted reliability. […] Toyota ertainly not based on their exciting product lineup – so sacrificing quality for quantity is a very risky proposition. Source: No surprising development, as I think.

I think it’s funny, the current trend. How were you always attacked by the 220 drivers when you hit on the topic of diesel versus gasoline. Now I’m confirmed to drive a petrol truck again and the topic is done by itself. Let’s see when the other car manufacturers are following up. A little pleasure in damage must be allowed…. Let’s see how the topic is developing, also with 6d standard.
