They're trying to match former GM General Counsel Harry Pearce's famously dramatic and successful evisceration of "Dateline NBC." Unfortunately Toyota's story isn't nearly as good, and, to paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, "They're no Harry Pearce."
I hope that the TTAC editors give us a break down of what was said. I watched for all of 5 minutes and all I got was: 1) Dr. Gilbert had cooked the results (something that some of us predicted over 2 weeks ago) 2) What he did could never happen in real life and 3) Toyota and Toyota hired engineers have almost no personality and are as exciting to watch as watching paint dry or grass grow.
"3) Toyota and Toyota hired engineers have almost no personality and are as exciting to watch as watching paint dry or grass grow." Gee, given their model lineup, who could have predicted that?
You think Toyota would have learned from Tylenol. Take resposibily..then solve the problem. Attacking anyone and everyone that points out you have a problem is stupid. Toyota would have been further ahead getting Gilbert to assist in finding a SOLUTION!
