Toyota resumes production of 3 models hit by certification scandal

LOL, scandalous, ie the media...

The anomaly meant tested cars actually achieved higher standards than required by law, just that they didn't follow the ridiculously complicated procedures.

But now that Toyota has spent substantial advertising dollars, scandal over. LOL....

That's a relief. Didn't know how I would cope with reduced output from the world's most boring car maker

In truth be honest, those safety tests and standards are from 50's and 60's. Not an excuse for what Toyota did, but those license tests are utterly prehistoric. One the other hand, the safety tests required for Europe or North America are updated constantly. For example the last one in Europe is from May 2023.

Same thing applies to Express or Highway speeds that are stuck in the 60's, paradoxical, Japan having the slowest Express roads speeds in the world, but also THE MOST EXPENSIVE.

Toyota should start manufacturing EVs.

Yaris Cross ! Good I'll buy one soon then !

If other companies are honoring the tests, why isn't Toyota?If you don’t agree with the tests, there are legal procedures to request a change. Resorting to illegal practices is not an option.
