What about the years and f*cking years of r & d that went into this car that got everyone here so hot and bothered? Now, you're saying they're out to screw you over? Are they going to take the easy way out on an engine that they hope to use in other applications as well?

I like paranoia as much as the next guy, but you got nothing here. I don't object to your posts, but you got nothing.

ALL of this is speculation. I'm just cautioning you not to underestimate the self serving nature of large corporations in damage control mode. If this product has a pinto moment they have nothing more to offer and on the next try any quality issues will leave them empty. This fire didn't even start yet, consider what will happen when a big news outlet reports that 1-10% of these cars are sitting in the shop for a month or more, days or weeks after purchase (you know fine investigative journalism ...I'm kidding, shocking headline story that will sell tabloids under the tag "Toyota makes a clunker!" or "#1 name in quality vehicles makes #1 quality vehicles 90% of the time"). Do you think their priority at the moment is to make a fan belt that will last a thousand years or to get these in and out in under an hour with a complimentary oil change and a hot beverage?
