Another in a long line of Toyota miscues. $400 million over budget. At the very tail end of the announced opening schedule. Sales figures far below expectations. Door handles that are not color matched. Wide panel gaps supposedly attributed to "a tougher looking" truck. Tundra Autoshow sales men that wear ridiculously small tool belts that show no signs of wear. Pee-wee Hermanish to be sure. Yeah, that's a real working truck. An absurdly constructed disconcerting interior awash in a sea of grey and black blech. Stamped metal suspension parts. Still selling a V-8 with a timing belt in 2007. A cheap-*** C-frame that only a mother could love. A truck that can't even muster a 5-star safety rating in any trim. Let's not forget the "tough" 5-bolt lug pattern. And styling strongly indicative of a beached whale in heat. All followed by engines that quickly blow apart. Yet another sunny day to bash the Tundra. Did we leave anything out?

New flexibible manufacturing system.New paint system. New Lambda vehicle. Right? I would be shocked if that's not the case.

Great story. The 9-3 2.0T with 6-speed manual, standard leather and $3000 off looks like a great deal.

An excellent read. 18 hours per vehicle? That's incredibly good. Isn't the average car far above that figure, closer to 30?
