yea, i first realized the quality thereof at the age of 17 working at a cobra replica shop. my buddy brought in his toyota with over 400,000 miles on it!!!! The horn had a bleeder to help keep moisture out of it. All and all, Toyata has always built quility products (with good gas milage) and they are about fully reap the awards when they slide into the #1 spot over GM and Ford.

some side info:
in Gorilla Marketing it states something like out of every 2 million products made in the usa. 200,000 have defects while for every 2 million products made in Japan only 4,000 have defects.

Toyota is working hard to keep quality standards above bar. they are worried because of how fast they are growing it may be difficult to keep this culture strong through out the company=there are many new people working for Toyota all over the world, in which this group may not be so dedicated to quality standards and cut corners.
