Wow! Talk about coincidence - did you know your email address has the
same name as the website you posted?

AND, the website is written in Greek or Russian or something.

Here's waving to ya - \||||

Well, there is an English language button. It's just someone's
Toyota-bashing dressed up as legitimate independent industry news. And
he's clearly no engineer, to make the silly 'expositions' and
conclusions he does!

Ehh..so what? I used babelfish to translate some of the stuff. It
basically shows what we already know... crappy Jap steel not as bad as
China..but definately not what you'd expect on a Lexus. Cracks in gears,
shafts, etc. Kind of like buying a $3 pipe wrench made in China. I
wouldn't want to bear down on it.. Interesting site. I would have thought
Toyota could have done a little better. Ofcourse the car is shown in 6-8
inches of snow so some of this could be caused by extreme cold (maybe?)
especially mouldings which are held on either with cheap plastic clips or
glue.

So - how much is the information worth, until we know who the website
belongs to ? I could say exactly the same thing about Corvettes - but it
wouldn't make it true.

BTW - Lexus now have an assembly line in Cambridge Ontario. And I notice
theat St. Petersburg Russia, may be about to get 4 new Lexus assembly
plants - is this sour grapes from a Russian competitor ?

If you click on the language button it will display the entire web
site in English.

I had a Jap 280Z for several years and at 203,000 miles it still ran as good
if not better than when it was new..fast as blazes...easy to top 100 MPH..I
never could figure out how they got that much speed and acceleration from a
6 cly engine...

PROBLEM>>>>> the car was so rusted out that I had to part it out and cut up
the body to get rid of it...the frame and floors were all rusted
through...as well as the fenders and quarter panels..a real mess..drivers
seat was ready to fall out through the floor..I could see the road between
the clutch and brake pedals..and the passenger side was just as bad.....yes
I lived in NY and we do salt the roads but my other cars never rusted out
like that....so much Jap steel. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
