I really like this style of video when you make them.
Love Ya Scotty
People criticizing Toyota for not going full electric, forget that the reason Toyota is so reliable is because they don't just jump on the latest technology as soon as it's available. They study it, test it, and evaluate for years to determine its reliability. I would rather have that level of dedication and wisdom from a company than have a company who only chases the latest trends, before they are proven.
Then the wheels shouldn't have come off the BZ 4 and there wouldn't be a recall.
@@bouaphanesibounheuang1129 Reliability doesn't mean perfection. Even the best will make mistakes. But when you compare the history of Toyota to other car manufactures, Toyota is easily the most reliable. The only one that comes close is Honda.
@@jeskerjames3260 People are no longer buying cars for reliability only. Its not like Toyota is heads and shoulders above other makes. If their goal was to make a great products. EVs are the natural evolution.
@@bouaphanesibounheuang1129 If you’re smart, reliability should be number 1 on any product. Saves you money in the long run. My family has owned a lot of Toyotas and Hondas and we have never had any major issues out of them.
@@jeskerjames3260 My family also owns Toyota and Honda. But we have switched to other cheaper brands with little issue. Price is much more important when deciding on a car for most people. As Toyota never mentions reliablity and focuses more on value.
'You make the best cars, the money will follow' -Akio Toyoda
This aged extremely well.
That's what Tesla is doing.
@@pauld3327 if you can still drive the tesla you buy today in 30 years, i might agree
@@pauld3327 I'd say Tesla's cars are good but are not even close to being the best as an overall vehicle. They aren't cost effective and have been known to not have quality generally associated with a vehicle of the price range they currently compete with. They may have upsides but there are still many reasons including the cost not to buy one just yet. I'm not saying they aren't good vehicles but it will be some time before they are fully competitive and better than the others at comparable prices.
@@brycestoll And they’re a fire hazard
@@labornurse Electric motors are made to last forever without any maintenance.
The battery will probably have lost 25/30% capacity after 30 years but the car will still have 200 miles range.
Toyota needs to stand their ground and let their sales speak for themselves
FACTS
If they keep with their old strategy, the sales will speak for them as they plummet from relevance.
@@jay2aussie there are some of us that never want anything electric.
They are all losing sales.
@@jcstroble91 the "some" is a tiny minority compared to their sales. they will fail as a company if they rely on it.
Toyota is unlike any car brand ever. They engineer their cars so we'll that they literally don't break down. I have huge respect for their achievement
Toyotas are built like tanks.
This must be why the current CEO does not like the direction the company is going and had to step down: he just wasn't willing to compromise on durability and usability for EVs since EV charging times and expected longevity are much worse than conventional gas powered vehicles.
But paint quality is poor. Repaint requires just after 5 years😢
Make no mistake, the domestic manufacturers have the capability to engineer of equal or superior reliability, but if they did that, you wouldn't have to buy another in a few years. Keep the assembly lines running.
@@deepwaters2334 In actual fact Toyota DOES make EVs and they make more every year
They just refuse to make a pure EV for some stupid reason, instead focusing on the much harder to make, much less reliable hybrid, as well as the much more likely to commercially fail FCEV.
I'm no rocket scientist, but I think Toyota is playing it smart to not go full-bore electric cars. In fact I believe that their practice of refining what already works rather than trying to be the first out of the gate with something new and different, is what has made them so successful.
I hope Toyota does not go Woke like all the other car makers.
yes they are holding up the pressure for transitioning to EV. I like their built quality!
Sir, I’m no brain surgeon, but I think your correct.
Well they have to go electric anyway. After 2035 ICE will be kicked off from Europe market.
Well, I AM a "Rocket Scientist" and I totally agree with you.
He was only CEO of major car manufacturer who CAN drive a car, and cared about what drivers feel.
Stark contrast to Mary Barra of GM
@@chickenfarm09 marry barra is ruining gm. And they can't make cars for the life of them anymore
@Donovan Lewis So in your world, Toyota is facing bankruptcy because they posed questions to the future of all-electric? Interesting.
2000s Toyota are way boring compare to new one.
I want to see one of lawmakers, Mr John Fetterman drive a car. That will be satisfying
What a class move. Knowing when, and how, to hand over the reins isn't easy but Toyoda-san aced it. "I'm just a car guy" is the best exit line I've heard.
Damn watching this story Its sad that the guy is stepping down he sounds like a real car enthusiast... car makers need more people like that at the helm...
he will still play a massive role in key decisions, you have to understand japanese business to realise the ceo is more of a popular figurehead rather than a ruthless bastard like american / western ceos.
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi i hope that's true...
I think that I want a car that starts everyday for 20 years without having to go back to the dealership for repairs.
Exactly. I prefer to purchase only Honda or Toyota, but I will probably do the older models.
i think I have the perfect car for you, Mr Buffalo, the car that fills the bill are the ones Scotty Kilmer always uses as a base-line example of "good car" - a Camry or Lexus ES/GS 350 model years 2000-2010 - I own two, both over 200K miles, and they have never needed much more than a timing belt change every 90,000 Try doing that in your brand new Chevy, Dodge or Fix or Repair Daily car today....
THIS is the key to sustainability. It doesn't matter how "renewable" your tech is if you keep tossing it in the trash can every 5 years or less!
A lot of a car's emissions actually comes from it's construction (and raw materials), not driving it. Paying for a car that doesn't pollute while you drive it, so that all the pollution can be dumped on the manufacturer, power grid, junk yard* is basically a sin tax. No different from carbon credits, "end poverty" t shirts made in sweat shops, or paying "indulgences". It's just posturing.
*Even if recycled, there's still an energy/pollution cost.
**Someone extra observant may have noticed I didn't use the words "Global Warming", "Climate", or "CO2". There's a reason for that. "Pollution" is a proven problem I can get behind. As long as we can agree on _A_ part of the problem, with _A_ part of the solution, there's no need to wage a cultural war on semantics and opinions.
Stakeholders at it again
Yeah my 4agze still going hard after 20 years. Hardly and major issues other then tires and other minor things.
Forced compliance NEVER ends well for anything.
Remembering the absolute crap the US automakers made in the mid 70s because of government regulation.
completely agree with you!
Never heard of seatbelts?
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan not to mention Tesla's recently discussed new manufacturing process supposedly cuts their cost to build a car in half. ICE will be double the price without much benefits to make up for it.
@@Krolitian1 I think we will all believe that when we see it. Just because something exists in Elons mind doesn't make it real...
Toyota has been the most powerful car manufacturer to date. No one can match their reliability, with their ability to create such legendary cars & engines in my lifetime. Much respect to Akio and his predecessors for creating such an iconic entity every car guy respects.
Lol ma Toyota reliability is a urban legend at this point
Once upon a time they where great now they are just average crap like all the other manufacturers
You're really overselling the Camry. It's an average car. That's Toyotas' crowning achievement
@A Dak My statement wasn't just about their Camry. Which I can agree is just a basic sedan. But other iconic vehicles they produced. Take a 94-98 MK4 Supra for example with its Legendary 2JZGTE. Can't find those under $40k these days, but upwards near $70k. As well as other iconic vehicles like an MR2, AE86, 2000GT, an their Celica GT-Four.
@@legros731 I disagree my cars @ 230 something thousand and I still haven’t had to replace anything outside of break pads twice and the battery once
@@PixelatedMagikarp maybe learn to read a said modern Toyota if you got 230k + miles you're car is 10 years old minimum
And you never changed tire in 230k mile lol and i highly doubt you just used 2 set of brake in 230k mile or you doing highway only and make your car 230k mile not impressive at all
Toyota is doing the right thing and because they make the best cars for average people, i support the direction they're headed. EV cars are in the early developmental stage so, it's smart for Toyota to stay back and watch the mistakes of others before stepping up. It's not like they're hurting for sales, they're doing very well. As a matter of fact, i'm buying a 4 Runner this weekend!
No. What people want is not always what people need. Nobody knew they need iphones, everyone was after new Nokias, and 10+ years later, where we are?
EV cars are future, you like it or not, will make no difference.
@@DevonHensley211 no sense
@@ir5682 EV market share is already 10% world wide - so out of 100 new cars sold 10 was electric. What do you think this number will be in 2030? It was only 2% in 2019. People like you live in past - with no ability to see any future what so ever.
@@DevonHensley211 the breakthrough of battery and charging are still not enough, I wait for that time come 🗿
Hell yeah welcome to the family
Thank you Akio Toyoda for keeping Toyota an amazing car company that has helped humankind progress in many ways.
It also helped sabotage the move to much cleaner electric cars with propaganda in schools snd kindergartens in Japan....
So thank toyota when your family breathes toxic air
That’s a dubious assertion,, during the last few years in Japan Toyota has LITERALLY tried to brainwash children while in School to reject EV’s!!- they’ve also lobbied relentlessly against them spending Millions in the effort-- they traveled a very dark path and that’s why this old turd was forced out-- he was taking Toyota in the WRONG direction and likely now into Bankruptcy.
Lol
Hahaha
Toyota = Kodak
This makes me sad, his car philosophy is spot on. Remember, if you can remotely access your car, anyone can. I appreciate simpler cars and the fact they can't be SSH'd by the manufacturer.
Gas cars are run by computers too and can be remotely accessed. If you want a car that cannot be hacked, you'd have to buy something from the 90s or earlier.
The only things stopping someone from is their desire to get in. My gf dad is a locksmith and those old car locks would slow him down by about a minute
@@choyMM Unless you car has gps and connected to the internet, it cannot be hacked. Even then, you just have to cut the gps and antennas from the circuit to make the newer cars no longer hackable.
Didnt some car company already file a patent that they can remotely retrieve their car from owners if they miss a car payment. I can see they can do this in a number of reason like miss parking ticket or miss a utility bill or just a mistake ot worst got hacked.
@@TheOne30264
Oh yeah....sure they do
And if it goes full EV,they can do even more,no company want to lose control.
In California we have rolling blackouts during the summer from everyone using their air conditioners. Just imagine if everyone had EVs. The grids would shut down way more often.
Actually, it's likely the grid would be more stable. Evs can shift power from night to day (as do the solar/ battery "generators").
EV'S are cutting sharply to high end ICE cars now.
I don't own one yet, but it's clear the debt and other obligations ICE companies have is going to kill them.
They are like Kodak.
The reality is that Toyota is actually in the best financial situation of any automaker right now. Their debt ratios are some of the lowest and they have some of the highest earnings from their debt. They are intentionally taking on more debt after paying it down over the last few years.
Scotty please keep these kinds of videos coming! Your fun car maintenance videos are entertaining , but this side of your character is very cool to hear as well. Car topics by a car guy is very convincing instead of a business guru talking about this kind of subject. Thanks!
Scotty, no one in the world is complaining about Toyotas carbon footprint because that’s only the media and it’s not owned by real people
Toyota might not be spending enough on advertising.
Well, guess who wrote the script for this video and edited it together. Hint: it sure ain't scotty
Your right. Its owned by the lizard people.
Exactly right. Germany fudges their numbers, and you can buy a tricked out Toyota Hybrid or an entry level Tesla. I spent the last few months modeling minivans from all over the world. Toyota is the only manufacturer prioritizing hybrids that are actually readily accessible here in the US. And when I say prioritizing, I mean a fuel efficient, environmentally friendly choice that is obtainable by the general population.
💯
“Akio toyoda just shocked the entire car industry” one of the few who actually cared about what his customers drove
Even though toyotas are boring cars DOES NOT MEAN THEYRE BAD OR SOULESS CARS. And they knew this. I loved toyota i never had a problem with them and they have been in a perfect market… they know what rhe customer wants and provide…
a perfect relationship is a boring relationship
@@pablo4yu 1000% agree
Yes I do think Toyota will get it figured out. I’ve had 2 Toyota’s in my life . The first one I owned had 300,000 miles on it. But right now Toyota stands for reliability which is very important to me. Toyota customer for life.
Same here. Toyotas helped me stay in business. I was able to get up every morning and know that my car would start and get to work. That was a huge thing for me in life. Other makes was like playing Russian Roulette when you put the key in the ignition.
I hope Toyota continues to explore all options. Being locked into EV is myopic. Cummins has done a great thing with taking existing engine, reworking their heads and ignition to be able to run on both hydrogen and diesel! As Cummins put it. Hydrogen won't be available everywhere due to lack of infrastructure but, it may be cost effective to companies like Estes, UPS, Wal-Mart and Old Dominion to have hydrogen fueling station at their hubs. A perk is better air quality for those who work at their hubs as well. Drive down the road and if no hydrogen, just put in diesel until the next hub. It may not be a full solution but I logical step in my view.
*Cummins*

The heavy push to electrification is the streamlining of overwhelming our infrastructure to the point of collapse
Yeps. Self driving cars will be killing machines and batteries will rear its ugly head soon when millions of them head to the landfill.
Don't be dramatic. We'll be ok. Go look up how many times we've doubled our electric infrastructure this last century. Hell, there are plenty of people charging up their EVs on their solar at home. No need to be religious when it comes to cars or change.

Evs are only there so they you can be controlled
You right
I like Electric vehicle but cannot see myself just siting there without shifting gears. Toyota has contributed a lot to the auto industry. The once leader in fuel economy omy is now satanized by media.
The push for electric seems more top down rather than bottom up while trying to pretend it's bottom up.
4% of all cars on the road are EV's. 60% of that 4% are in California alone. EV's are D.O.A. A total scam

I live in Australia and EV will always be a non starter, too far to travel, too few chargers, always will be. You would have to live in a city and not want to go anywhere else, ever. I have a 2008 Prius I've had for 8 years and it's brilliant, full synthetic oil changes (last 2 ordinary changes) and 2 sets of front brake shoes is about all apart from very little fuel to go a long way. Every time I don't buy a Toyota I'm giving myself lots of trouble.
Most people live in a city and pretty much don’t go anywhere else
So we should make cars massive up front cost both environmentally and economically that won’t actually get driven enough to get the ROI from being electric. Makes sense.
The strongest man stands alone. If his successor is wise, he will avoid the electric bandwagon, and make cars that people want.

Well, just imagine the price of recycling them because at some point the mineral supply will also become more expensive. EVs are just a scam.
You are absolutely spot on there Marty. Full electric vehichles are a total disaster for the environment in terms of what is required in their production and the batteries and their disposal when no longer useful.
Batteries that you will have to have a builders license to dispose of. I mean it is actually hazardous waste..
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan People like you also thought there would be flying cars by year 2000
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan Battery costs are dropping by 20% YOY. There is plenty of Lithium and Iron available, just need production faster, and yes, eventually, recycling will eliminate most battery material supply issues. These "worthless" batteries are worth a fortune just for their contents.
I just left my job with Toyota in Plano after two years. Wonderful people, great products but I worked harder in those two years than the entire rest of my career. I feel like if you survive working there, you can work anywhere.
I loved Toyotas for their reliability and their smooth driving. I hope the quality won't go down like it does in other companies.
Call me crazy, But I would more likely to buy a car from a company run by a CAR guy.
Not crazy. Actually sane
*guy being the important word there.
Can't believe people are crazy and self-entitled enough to make official demands and even harass a company for making products according to their own propoganda 💀
It's not about propaganda, it's about survival as a society. Remember the ruckus when they took "Ethyl" out of gas? Turns out that stuff was real poison, lead.
Welcome to what the world had been for the past 60 years
It's sad because it's not like other companies haven't done so, they just want to force everyone to have only one option.

Going to EV’s moves us to different problems like the mining of Cobalt in the Congo (also with child labor) and the mining of Lithium for the manufacture of EV electric batteries puts out carbon emissions and damages the environment as well. Then charging all the EV’s coming from the electricity generated from coal fired power plants, hydro water power, and nuclear power has some environmental concerns.

Thank you Akio Toyoda for re-igniting Toyota sports cars once more. Only a petrolhead like him could get a conservative behemoth to produce a dedicated platform for the World Rally Championship together with a new engine to go with it.

I don’t like where the world is headed
To be honest, I liked my 2003 Highlander's handling more than my 2021 version, something does not feel the same w/ the handling vs the older model....When I studied the older models across the board, seems like all the pre 2012 handles more naturally than all the newer fancier "exterior" versions but w/ the new engines. Not sure if it's due to Japan made vs USA made...
My dad has owened a variety of cars throughout his life and has had fun as well as challenges with his model y. Electric is still not there yet. He’s considering switching to hybrid instead.
going for a successor like Sato who's an engineer and who really knows how cars work is the best way to go and not just settling for another bureaucrat-type leader.
Work with engineers. There's no difference.
Lol engineer are the worst people on earth
They think they know everything with there's auto cad software and simulation
Look at all the german engineered car that are a absolutely hell to work on because they over engineered for no reason
at least if they where reliable it would not be this bad lol
I feel like deep down hardly anyone at Toyota wants anything to do with EV but they're being forced into it. I think Akio knows competing with the elite that want to shut down the first world is a losing battle

More like Toyota can simply do math. The production of battery minerals required for EVs to replace ICE vehicles will need to increase 5 fold. Humanity has never doubled the supply of major minerals in a decade. EVs replacing ICE is an utter fantasy.
I love our 2020 Nissan Leaf. It’s quiet, comfortable, efficient, and convenient. We never have to take it to a gas station. We never have to change the oil. I would consider a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle - the technology is real neat - but it’s going to be hard to get me back to a fueling station. Perhaps if there were a residential delivery service for tanks of hydrogen?
last year, I bought 2022 Rav4 , Thanks Toyota keep up the good work
Last yr I bought a new 2022 4runner trd pro and very happy with it overall. The difference between Toyota vehicles and all the other brands is basically the parts package used to create the vehicle, alternator, water pump, bearings, etc all top quality parts so they last 200K plus before needing replacement. Simple yet very effective way to create reliability in a vehicle.
@David Cox Very True, as Reliability Engineer I am driving my 3rd Toyota car. Their cars are not the most comfortable or advanced, but definitely great value for the money
I will drive my gas powered car until it becomes ilegal to do so
when they pry it from my cold dead fingers
And then I will get a donkey cart. No battery powered transport for me.
That might be sooner that you think. My car has only until the end of 2027. Then I won't be allowed to drive it in the Low Emission Zones...
@@johnnyblue4799 Well I have several things working for me. I don't live in a place that is that far down the swirly, at my age my own physical deterioration may outpace the encroaching stupid, and the physical impossibly of their utopian dream will either slow their progress to a crawl or expose the underlying fascist tyranny to all when they admit the real goal of enclosing us in a transportation prison.

A legend and a real sigma, I'm sad that he won't be leading toyota but he left with grace and dignity
My 1991 camry has 791k miles and still running strong. Just oil change every 3k miles. I plan to keep it for another 30 yrs
All these companies that do not even approach Toyota’s success can complain all they want about “zero emission vehicles” (there’s no such thing). People like me will continue to vote with their dollars, and those “haters” will lose sales and fall by the wayside.
Keep on keeping on Toyota.
Even if Toyota can have gigantic sales that is phenomenal, I don't see any other brands automatically lose sales by a landslide and caved in like your speculation.
@@baoquoc3710 If I buy a vehicle from one manufacturer and keep it for 10 years, didn’t all of the other manufacturers lose out on a sale?
I wasn’t literally speculating. More just trying to convey frustrations regarding some peoples’ beliefs that we need to go all electric immediately. It simply isn’t reasonable.
It's not about being the biggest. It's about being the best. Quality over quantity. When you skip quality, customers should skip you. I wish from the bottom of my heart that Toyota will choose quality also in the future. Because I want to own a Toyota again in the future.
When I listen to RUclips videos 75% of RUclipsrs have the same voice and sound interchangeable. You sir have a unique voice for RUclips. It's refreshing.
What is so weird is that Toyota still providing CD player in cars. When I ask the salesman what am I going to do with a CD player? he couldn’t respond.
My first car was a Toyota Corolla when I was 16. Being 16 I did not take care of it like I should. It already had well over a 100k on it when I got it. One time I ran it out of oil until till the stooped. I walked to the gas station brought 2qts of oil poured it in cranked it and drove off. I drove it for another 5 years and ended up giving it to a friend that needed a car badly. It is still in operation till this day with over 200k.
That has made a believer out of me that Toyota produces a superior car. PERIOD.
If Greenpeace doesn't want me to buy your car, I'd call that a selling point.
Yep.
The Founder of Green Peace one should have heard him talk at least once!
My only complaint with Toyota is with my 2017 Rav 4 . The rotatars and break shoes had to be replaced at 30,000 miles. Unheard of for Toyota product, the dealership didn’t want to do anything for me. I placed a call with Toyota manufacturing and they gave me a credit for the amount I spent, that was several years ago, so when I use it I hope the dealership will accept it.
comprehensive explaination, thank you Scotty
If the other Japanese manufacturers could remember that performance and experience matters with cars, they would be up there with Toyota. This man remembered, brought back the Supra, and gave us the GR series. If only Subaru could look at that.
Exactly! Subaru are just heading in a wrong, wrong direction at this point 😢.
True enough. I have been a Honda girl since 1992 with my 1982 Honda Accord, which was my first car. Sadly, Honda is struggling to keep up right now,.
Wow clueless here. Mazda is the driver's car. Toyota wishes they built fun cars to drive like Mazda has their entire existance.
@plantfeeder is Mazda the company working on a hybrid system using the rotary engine as the power plant? To me, that will be the future of EV if they don't get scuttled by the globalists.
@@porschefanatic1049 and that’s why a made a lightweight 4 cylinder 6 speed car that can slide all day
I’m 29 and my family has exclusively owned Toyota for over 40 years. I hope that Toyota stays true to itself and manages to survive and thrive. Hopefully people wake up to the EV fad before ICE change too much.
i hope toyota starts making EVs asap because i want a toyota EV.
Screw EVs. I want to enjoy Toyota ICE.
@@sandrafrancisco nonce
i mean, once ev develops the technology to go 2000 miles with one charge, its just over for combustion cars.
but i trust toyota to build pickup trucks for rebel groups far into future.

Not being able to charge or start EVs in cold weather is a massive issue. Not being able to power them in general because your power grid sucks like in CA is also an issue.
Here’s one for the battery bunch. How does an apartment complex charge hundreds of cars? Do all those people have to go to a fast charge station? Now multiply that by all the apartment complexes in your city. How do all those people charge their cars? Extension cords?
Every car and truck in my driveway is a Toyota. I love them because they don't change without a need when the technology they are using is proven and nothing but a full redesign is needed. People who buy Toyota are either Toyota owners or someone who bought a Chrysler or Ford product and regretted it.
@EnriqueThielebattery electric is fine for sheeple. Remember baa baa baa now go worship at woke alter in front of a windmill
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan Most countries and cities in the world have no charging stations.
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan Not enough lithium and cobalt to replace half the internal combustion engines. Mr. Toyoda acknowledged this in one of his statements some time back. EV's may be a step to reducing pollutants in high urban areas but you offload those carbon emissions to power plants elsewhere. In truth, per mile, car emissions is higher in EVs. How is that progress and not regression? What of Toyoto Corp's lead in the industry in using hydrogen whose byproduct is pure water? Should we not explore all options? Not all new technology is good. While I believe EVs should be explored, jumping on the EV Cult train is myoptic and will prevent many from seeing the side affects of EVs. A great example, how much jungle is stripped away and how much forced child labor is used for cobalt mining in Africa? How much carbon is NOT being cleaned out of the air from the jungles lost? If a rock is thrown into a pond, is there not a ripple? What do those waves look like in the 3rd and 4th causal affect?
The Toyodas are mastermind genius, they did what Ford and Chevy did in 100 years in less than 30 and improved it many times. Best wishes and blessings to Akio and his son, the future is bright thanks to them. Mirai! 🙏🎌
mirai is dead
@@vipvip-tf9rw lol no, Mirai means future in Japanese. Basically they are looking forward to the future/being optimistic that it will all be good
@@angeljaimes9703 still mirai was massive failure, maybe their tech would be better for semi
@@vipvip-tf9rw The mirai was literally never meant to be profitable. They were selling them at a huge financial loss but they got real world results about the feasibility in return. The care was not a failure, it was an experiment which will give them results way far into the future.
Ford and Chevrolet didn't have a Ford and Chevrolet to copy from.
Many people around the world still drive 20-30 years old Toyota car efficiently, even in my country. Toyota is a really really good car brand. For me no brand even come close to Toyota. It's the car for people
When I purchased a hybrid Lexus in 2019, I asked when they are making a full electric and they said they had no plans. I knew then that they would not be my future vehicle choice, electric is the next evolution, the combustion engine had its run and is history.
Every day for over 15 years of ownership, I get in my Camry and it starts every time (330,000km plus), it's only been towed once and that was when I ignored the cambelt and it broke after 150,000km, being a non-destructive motor, I re-placed the cam belt and I expect another 300,000km out of it. Screw 'excitement' I want the reliable car I've got. To me 'excitement' means constantly replacing engines and transmissions like the german and italian junk Hoovie buys. All hail Toyota, thank you.
Pontiac use to build 'excitement.' They went out of business.
@@raymondcanessa7208 For excitement I have a collection of 80's gear driven cam shaft Honda motorcycles, all over them have over 50,000km and I expect them like the camry to last me a life time.
@@Dannyvirk Regular people keeping a camry for a lifetime is better for the environment than new throw away cars.
@@raymondcanessa7208 I could not agree more with you. The idea that I should ditch the camry and get a new Tesla ever 7 years 'to save the planet', it's just....... man, it just grinds my gears.
Scotty is our intrepid, timely reporter of all things automotive 🚗👏🏆
I love Toyota’s kindness to Thai customers a lot! They listen to us and change for us. They sell their cars at a reasonable price and aren’t being cheap about quality and features they put in their models, while other brands like Honda tends to do the opposite.
I was about to say you sound a lot like Scotty Kilmer. The editing was what made me think it was someone else's video! You've come a long way with your videos Scotty. I've been watching you since I was getting ASE certified in Highschool back in 2012
❤️🙏🏽 I love Toyota for it's reliability! This company's history is amazing and founders created something incredible. I am a little unclear about quality moving forward. However, I wish them nothing but the best! LOVING MY SCION TC 2012!❤️
All good things come to an end........
Teaming up with BMW was their WORST move.
BMW could actually learn a lot of them in terms of quality, but they went full luxury route now anyway.
German makes mainly sell on qualities which they haven't possessed for decades.
I've never had any problems with my Toyota except the frame rotting in half and that time the accelerator stuck and killed my whole family. Besides that, no problems!
It breaks my heart to see the golden cars...ae86...sw20...te72...ae92...jza80 are being swapped out to be electric or hybrids... as a former employee at honda its really sad alot of the japanese market cars now are being produced in the USA,Mexico and India. I'll always keep my Gc8,ek9,sxe10 forever. Hopefully toyota will never let go of the TRD or GR division.
He knows engines can be made much more efficient and that EV's cannot solve the problem.
He is fighting against those trying to shut down human industry on Earth.
It doesn’t get much more more efficient than it is now, it doesn’t matter what technological advances you make it still does not change the fact that the moment you turn a hydrocarbon fuel into kinetic energy more than 50 percent of that energy is instantly wasted as heat a byproduct.
@@jamesvandamme7786r the EPA can piss off and we drive what we want. Seriously they should be cleaning up the train derailment instead of worrying about emissions. Cobalt mining isn't sustainable long term either and will do more damage than any ICE ever will.
@@jamesvandamme7786 except for that small detail you are leaving out that EVs are produced using fossil fuels and running them will require more fossil fuels
@@jamesvandamme7786 relying on a battery breakthrough which hasn't happened yet with exponentially more engineers, AI/ML algorithms and a plethora of other technologies is the pinnacle of wishful thinking. Until battery vehicles can overcome their inherent limitations let other technologies compete. Diversity in approach to solving problems is by far the best way forward.
@@ncd7184 A vehicle is made with fuel? I guess we learn something everyday.
I hope Toyota does not follow the Green Fool's !
Seems like their hand is being forced. Sad
Toyota is doing great with their gas-hybrid approach but the only issue is price and inventory. They aren’t making enough cars and the markups are crazy. If they just solve for production efficiency they would be fine.
The Prius has had the same MPG for the past 20 years.
Did you not notice on the thumbnail that his left hand gave you devil horns? Lol
I hope the new CEO, with his diesel background, finally offers a diesel engine in the Tundra. I know the owner of a local Toyota dealership and when he was designing their brand new facility back in 2006, Toyota made them install extra wide doors in the showroom because Toyota said they would be designing a “dually Tundra diesel” in the near future. Well, 17 years later and no diesel or dually Tundra.
The US market is very hostile to diesel. Only foreign markets get diesels.. this includes all the big Japanese brands.
@@lanceres5spd And world-wide, diesel cars are disappearing. They cannot meet emissions requirements to keep the world alive.
isn't Volkswagen dieselgate fiasco shocked you enough?
@@lanceres5spd Then why does Ford, Chevy and Dodge still make and sell a TON of diesel trucks?? At the moment, the environazis have demonized diesel fuel and have jacked up the cost of diesel ON PURPOSE. That doesn't make diesel engines insignificant or unimportant.
I love my 4.0 v6 Hilux. It does everything I need & want it to do. I’m all for helping the environment but it’s going to be a long time before the infrastructure & quality of vehicles convinces me to look at something other than a petrol or diesel 4x4.
What do you think about the Cybertruck ?
It will be available at the end of the year.
The government may force you out of that truck in the future
Proud T100 owner. We hope to buy a highlander asap. Not the greatest contribution to the discussion. Just throwing it out there
I lived in southern ontario and when our toyota yaris four door was rear ended by a hummer, it was a write off. We went looking for a replacement and found one that had come off lease. It was only a two door and it had NO electronics, didn't even have a rear windshield wiper. I asked why it had literally NO frills, and he said that it was the car that the Toyota CEO was given to drive when he came to the plant in southern ontario. It needs a little body work now, but its now a thirteen year old car with over 400K thats only ever had one major piece of work done on it. We thought its transmission was gone last spring, but the transmission place said that even that old and driven that much transmission just don't go on Toyotas (our previous Ford had the transmission replaced TWICE). And sure enough, it was a $300 fix. I'm knocking on wood.
It's sad to see him go. He seems like a nice guy. I don't object Sato initiating EV projects for Toyota, but I really don't want Toyota to become an EV only brand. That'll mean Akio's struggles would be in vain.
The horse carriage should have been retained back in the early 1900’s instead of combustion engines
@@ddnn974 False equivalence. Next.

I bought my first Toyota ever in 2021..A GR Yaris. Prior to this car I would never have bothered with Toyota because I always considered their cars too dull, beige and utterly boring. It was Akio’s passion for the new GR brand and his personal involvement in the project that got me excited. Since then I’ve bought another GR Yaris, A new HiLux and now have a GR Corolla Morizo on order in Australia and have become a very passionate fan of the brand. I am certainly going to miss Akio and was saddened to hear of his ‘retirement’ and I fear now that Toyota will revert back to concentrating on building dull, boring crap again. I hope I’m wrong.
I think because the guy replacing him has been the head of Gazoo Racing you might be pleasantly surprised!
@@captvalstrax I do hope so but I must admit that Lexus' offerings since the LFA haven't been all that fantastic and he's also the head of that. But I hope you're right about being pleasantly surprised
I hope not either!😯
I'm also "A Gearhead" and pray to God that the new CEO of Toyota DOESN'T suddenly surprise us in a negative way by suddenly going all electric!☹️👎
How did you afford all those cars?
I think I read somewhere that the same happened to Subaru President stepping down and they plan on going toward "new innovation"
I love how governments and other large corporations are harassing Toyota about electric cars for the environment, even though they produce some of the most clean running vehicles. Anytime you see government and big corporations conspiring, and saying it's for the good of the people, and the planet, be very careful. These corporations want money by design, and the government wants more power. I can promise you, the thing corporations care about least, is the planet.
Toyota's my favourite car brand, their promise of Quality over Quantity speaks volume, and how they are willing to be the "odd one out" in the EV craze shows that they are willing to take risks for the benefit of us all!
Mazda also has not shown much interest in EVs too.
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan Gee I wonder why a country with one of the highest ethno-cultural consistencies is against globalist gangster insanity...
I wish Toyota would just build low tech, simple, highly reliable and inexpensive cars like they did in the 70's and 80's.

I will stick with a hybrid, I'm not too keen on being limited to just one resource.
@@jamesvandamme7786Not always
on the EV point, if the batteries become damaged they have a habit of thermal runaway which causes a chain reaction of each battery cell cracking and catching fire releasing toxic fumes, not to mention the copious amount of water we firefighters have to put on it just to get it out for maybe 5 minutes, if the batteries aren't cooled down enough the reaction starts anew
