    I’d say we should boycott Toyota, but their 220mi range piece of shit EV with a 9” display for 45k$ pretty much does them in without trying.

    I still haven’t gotten over hearing that recording of people who were about to die because they couldn’t use the brakes in their Toyota.

    Seems I was right to not forget.

    Fuck fuck fuck. I was looking for a reliable single cab truck with 4wd and diff locks to convert into a camper. A 90s J70 seemed like a perfect option, but even though I wouldn’t be giving toyota any money this feels wrong now… I wonder what other options even are there; L200 is too small for a camper, anything land rover is so unreliable I won’t dare go overlanding, and good luck finding parts for older american trucks over here (besides, Ford&GM bowed to fascists all the same)

    Good Lord I’ve seen the headlines but that photo paints one hell of a picture.

      Fair call, but it’s worth adding he is still the chairman and part of the Toyoda dynasty and clearly representing the brand.

        This is true. I more have a bone to pick with intentionally misleading headlines. It sounds way more punishing for it to be the CEO, but that’s just not true. The author didn’t need to lie to get the point across.

    Honest question: Assume that I do in fact need a car. I’ve been driving Toyota since college on account of it hitting pretty much the sweet spot of affordability and reliability. Is there another car company that hits around that same realm that is less morally compromised?

      I don’t think there are any ‘good’ car companies, due to extreme size they are all fuvkheads one way or another, often in many ways

          There was that investigation into privacy before that showed that literally every company they tested failed horribly. It might literally just be ‘they all suck horribly’.

    When you ride bikes you can minimize the amount of money you give to shitty people who already have too much money!
