So where is Toyota's apology letter for some of their mistakes? How
about an admission they screwed up something on thousands of engines
that lead many people to have sludge problems, or that the monster
Tundra is a huge mistake. Or that they have built some of the most
boring vehicles ever conceived. How about an apology for the older
4Runners that had one of the highest death rate for any vehicle ever
sold in the US?
