What have Toyota done with the their cars – they aren’t perfect either yet given that they’re the wealthiest car company they have more resources to make more substantial improvements to their cars than what Ford and Holden have done with both the FG and VE

Unlike the FG where the differences over the BF are noticeable [as they are with the VE compared to the VZ] Toyota have given their customers no real reason to bother buying the new car or even upgrade as its essentially the same as the previous model which is wrong when you consider that even a subtle change to the headlights would still cost a fair bit of dosh.

Again it appears that Toyota are happy to rest on their Laurels; as they have with the Corolla.. sure they may be number one in a number of markets but their rivals are making more imporvements to their cars and the gap to Toyota is gradually closing.. If Toyota keep it up they will be passed by a lesser rival such as Tmazda – the same way Toyota overtook GM..

remember as they say in motorsport its easier to chase
than it is to lead – because by chasing you’ve got something to aim for whereas when youre leading you got to try harder to keep the competition behind you and in terms of product development by making subtle changes Toyota aren;t really doing enough to stay there

The above comment is obviously you Dingo..

I [along with many other regular bloggers on this site] am actually rather good friends with Golfie..
He knows that I would never say anthing like that to him because I respect him he knows what hes talking about and can talk about things other than his beloved VWs

Yet because he; as you have guessed is CAs online moderator and has deleted so many of your inane abusive offensive comments you now have a serious vandetta against him more intense it appears than the one you do against anyone who likes any other car other than your beloved Toyota.

Why do you [and the rest of yout crue] find the need to start impersonating other regulars on this site?

For instance on a Holden Blog TP impersonated me trying to make it appear as though I had 98% of my brain removed and all of a sudden was as obsessed with Toyotas as you are.. when most people on here know I prefer Holdens.

I mean You haven’t gained any respect on here by using your other aliases – do you really think this is going to work? If anything I suspect they will be deleted just like your other comments..

I mean you would have thought that with all Toyotas money and resources they would have been able to dominate a sport with only 4 other major manufacturers within one or two years.. in the the same way they have [supposedly] dominated various markets with the same number of manufacturers [and in some cases the exact same manufacturers] that are with them in F1

Sure Toyotas philosophies and smart marketing decisions etc have seen them become the worlds wealthiest car manufacturer However; F1 could pprove to be their undoing.. Whilst they may be winning in the showroom F1 could well be their undoing..

What is it they say one generation makes money the next wastes it

Only time will tell – it all depends on what they consider to be an acceptable level of performance .. and given the Japanese ideology of perfection spending so much and getting very little return could be seen as an embarrassment

Who do you think has the formula that is working ??

Maybe GM and Ford should have a long hard look at thier structure and learn a lesson or two from Toyota on how to stay strong.

Toyota is not the one hanging onto a lifeline, but we all know who are.
