How often have we heard from the Toyota loyalist, who love to cross post in domestic brand NGs, tell us Toyota cares more for it buyers than do the domestics?
According to news reports, it will take Toyota several MONTHS to get all of the replacement linkages from it supplier, for the millions of vehicles involved in the recall, into the cars on the road being driven by its customers, who will need them.
Guess where Toyota is going to actually use the parts that their customer NEED? They will be used first for unsold new cars on the dealerships lots, then on the Toyotas in their assembly plants storage lots.
As you drive down the road, keep an eye open for drunks, those texting and runway Toyotas. ;)
