Tripples? Loses its status? Were those errors on the FT site? By teh way, Northen Rock bank was still highly rated by such services the week before it went under, so I wouldn't worry too much about the insight of such companies.

I don't care if their Triple A rating downgraded to Single A. As long as they make good and reliable car. Not like GM, Ford and Chrysler.

Hay. Toyota is making a reliable care cause they are using the minimum requirements of electrical systems in their cars. Mechanical systems are much reliable than the electrical ones. I am an electrical engineer

When Toyota?s were made solely in Japan, there were really great, reliable cars and gained a just reputation for such. Now they?re made everywhere else their reliability has suffered but that reputation still (unjustly) lives on. There have been so many recalls for the (French- built) Yaris? which Toyota, not surprisingly, have kept very quiet about plus a couple of people I know are having trouble with their new Toyotas? To max profits they probably do use the minimum requirements for electrical systems. They don?t spend a great deal of money tuning their cars for optimum handling either!
