"total recall - the toyota story"

[gary s]

great watch on cnbc today at 19:00 (edt). also repeats sunday @ 22:00 (edt)



great documentary on toyota's problem and the history of the company.

nothing hidden and facts exposed.

whether you like toyota or not, this is a good watch for anyone interested in the auto industry

Nothing hidden?



Toyota has "black box" software in their vehicles for 10 years, but continues to call it "experimental" when court ordered for the information and then only has ONE computer in the USA that can read it.



Seriously, Toyota, nothing to hide?

tom,



did you watch the doc ?



if you did , you might find something very interesting.......

 

[Tom Schindler]

I didn't watch. I might check it out. I could use a good comedy tonight.

[gary s]

maybe if you watched it, you would not talk from your azz as you usually do.



i encourage you to watch.

 

[Tom Schindler]

It was on the same time as more important shows are. I watched those instead.

Caymen is right. There was a "Full House" marathon on Nick at the same time.



:banana:

I forgot about that one TJR. I watched my normal sunday shows instead. Crap.

as usual, tom will speak from his azz and lacking facts when he posts.

why would you have watched it ? you might have learned something. :sad:

 

[Tom Schindler]

The show was on at the same time as my other (more important) shows.



Seriously, why should I care about YOUR beloved Toyota? Toyota sucks!

Gary,



Thanks for posting.



I watched some of the clips and read about the program on CNBC.com's website (see below). The program seems like an unbiased account of what has happened to Toyota and its fall from grace (and favor for many), seemingly in no small part due to Toyota "taking their eye off the ball."



Whether a Toyota lover, hater, skeptic, or simply an auto industry enthusiast the program seems to me like "must see TV."



I think it's a great, cautionary tale of what can happen to any company when it is successful.



TJR

i agree tjr.

it was a very interesting doc.



as far as tom goes, he will live in tomville where everything is perfect.

i guess he is not willing to broaden his knowledge.

he may even learn how toyota followed some american companies business practice.

but then again......... :sad:

.... it's Caymen Tom. WMCYS (What more can you say?) :argue:



Interesting doc, BTW. And yes, I actually watched it.
