If CEO Toyoda needs an answer, the old Celica/Supra division knows how to get a hold of me.
"If he does not want this company, give it to me. Let me run it!"
Are you saying you can build a Lexus from scratch if given the tools?

I could talk about this for hours, but I am not working for Toyota. I'll help them when necessary.

To 5SpeedRacer5:
The CEO in the article stated clearly the problem was over expansion at the expense of quality. I am not saying the problems are inherently wrong, but there are things that the CEO is stating he would have changed if he was more aware of the problems - not glaring problems, but problems nonetheless.
I believe the Hybrid was being developed in R&D, just like the numerous "Concept Cars", but was introduced due to unusual circumstances very few people knew about.
You are correct, I was not paying close attention to what occurred last year, and you are taking my comments more pronounced that my intent. Problems were apparent, how much is debatable.
How the Hybrid came about - I know something. I am mentioning problems that will arise in Toyota just from the magnitude of their global operations - they may or may not experience the problems I mentioned if aware of them, they may correct it before it happens.

The "Big Question" is, if a top executive warned Hdqtrs. of a drop in quality, would they in Japan acted? I saw this coming, though not so pronounced, in the mid 2000's. The rise was steep and fast due to the Hybrid. Toyota is now moving into a situation GM had - large scale, growing conservatism and quality issues. Executives, who now are moving toward maintaining profit levels rather than striving to be one of the best. Toyota will likely in the future forget that classic Lexus motto, "the relentless pursuit of perfection". Without goals, dreams stagnate.

I wish Pres. Obama luck on his trip to Asia. He knows that the problems he has overwhelms whatever the expertise/influence he needs in the Asia Pacific to do him any good. He goes to Asia w/ a weak poker hand - no ace.

The only way to investigate 9/11 is to emulate the Watergate proceedings, w/ a fully independent group w/ full command of all intelligence authority.

Let's just say that any group that can shut down the FBI who were tracking the 19 hijackers would be very hard to investigate. Even if they tried, they would not survive.

I believe there was a Mossad agent in my neighborhood in the 1990's. They are incredibly dedicated to their missions - no impromptu cheering.
After it is said and done, there is some sort of symbiotic relation between Mossad and the US Govt. What role they played can only answered by those in the "know". It is up to US citizens to determine who was behind 9/11.

The "cheering Israelis" is a minor part to the events on 9/11. At most, they were ordered to place explosives, but they were the "paid/ordered servants to a major operation". Also, to be so obvious is a sign of "deception" due to the nature of their situation.

The problem the US has is NOT Iran's Ahmadinejad opinion on 9/11, but the intelligence, military, industrial and sophisticated high rise constructors through out the world who look at the details of 9/11. Sooooooo many top experts mumbling, "who are you kidding?". The video of the Twin WTC is so full of contradictions, it is a joke.

To SabiWabi:
There is much more to this than what you are stating:
"Certain people wanted to control Iraq and Afghanistan. 911 "allowed" them to invade those 2 countries. Now they surround Iran, and Ahmadinejad is worried. Strange how they entered Afghanistan to get Osama, but they very quickly stopped worrying about him."
Hint: You have to understand "Grand Strategy", and know all implications involved w/ "the Arc of Instability".

To UnagiDon:
9/11 was a conspiracy, the question is, "who was involved and why it occurred.
Definition of "conspiracy".

"What he said is just his opinion, which by the way, is shared by a vast majority (which doesn't make it valid, btw)."
After everything is said and done, the people behind 9/11 were/are "mentally challenged".

Here's the kicker:
Avoid conspiracy websites, they may ask a good question, but rarely the answer.
One needs to go to a construction demolition expert, and ask: if you were to re-enact the free fall of the Twin World Trade Center as seen on the video, how would you go about doing it? That answer will start a series of other questions.
I looked, and I don't want to go there.

I can't go into details, but the "cheering Israelis" is about possible actors in a play. The director and producer are someone else - to hamper and shut down valid FBI manhunts requires authority much higher than the FBI.
