Chrysler seems to be the real looser since dropping the 7/70 powertrain warranty for the same 3/36 as the Basic warranty.]]>Feb 19th 2007 1:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/
Of course you can't chalk it ALL up to one bad year (2005), but maybe it was sort of a fluke year?

That being said... recalls don't always mean unreliable and needing an longer warranty, IMO.]]>Feb 19th 2007 1:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/
For example, you could have mentioned the fact that recalls are handled outside of the warranty period, as well issues such as V6 engine sludge (Warranty was extended 4-5 years ago).

Or, maybe mention how despite recalls, Toyota is still most reliable non-luxury brand in US and Lexus is most reliable luxury brand in the USA?

And that their recalls are still 2x-3x smaller in numbers than big3 recalls?


Or you can write some highschool-quality piece on how world is treating big3 unfair... which is what you usually do.]]>Feb 19th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/
GM and Ford's moves were made to reinforce the fact that their quality has improved and to show that they were willing to back that up with a very strong warranty. Of course, with better quality, the increased warranty costs of such coverage will remain the same or shrink as quality continues to improve.

Ford just recently increased their warranty to match.
Chrysler is still lagging with their pathetic 3 year/36,000 mile.

Recalls are 100% paid for repairs, FREE to the customer. Adding a warranty to something that is FREE is... pointless.]]>Feb 19th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 1:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 1:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/
No, really though... where is ANY information to back up your claims of "junk"? And geez... even bringing up NASCAR? Wow... dug deep for that one.

Get a clue and come out of your shack.]]>Feb 19th 2007 1:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/The toyota I owned sludged up its engine and threw a rod out the side of its block This has been a problem for the toyotas for many, many years.

heh, I know you were just kidding, just thought I'd just in on the fun :D]]>Feb 19th 2007 2:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 2:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/Feb 19th 2007 2:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/we continued to look at the tundra's, fit and finish was not up to "toyota's standards" and quite frankly, we thought the interior was rather cheap and not to mention the rear c frame.
now gm plans to give the 100k warranty on certified used cars from 2002 to 2006. so let's think about that one. if resale values are as bad for gm as many of you like to gloat about, then i might be able to buy a used 06 caddy sls for about the same price as a new camry. and my warranty would be longer. gee, that's a no brainer. a caddy vs. a car that looks like a wart?
read what you want into toyota's statement. if they had the confidence that gm now has, they would have done it first.
hands down the silverado by a long shot is the better of the two, but i gotta tell you, the ford was a very close second. ]]>Feb 19th 2007 2:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/
Like the article says, this is simply a "put up or shut up" type of thing. Is Toyota willing to stand behind their products and guarantee them to be as dependable and reliable as GM? They won't because they know better than anyone that their quality is poor and getting worse every day.]]>Feb 19th 2007 2:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/19/toyota-says-it-wont-increase-warranty-coverage/
Their problems caught up with them and lawsuits followed, now they must contend with their mistakes just as if they were mortal, they must have recalls. Sometimes perfection is not what it seems.]]>Feb 19th 2007 3:04PM
