So you call a $2.3 billion dollar profit "trouble"? Considering all the crap that has been raining down on them in the form of recalls, earthquakes, tsunamis and massive flooding, I'd say they're in a pretty damn good position.

Reduced earnings (still in the black) primarily due to Acts of God and a strong currency, both of which the company has no control over.

Doesn't seem like much of a worry to me

I feel so sorry for them with like you say, so much happening there (and still is) makes me wonder how they will ever get over it all or if they ever will, what with the radioactivity and the destruction. They have also had rather large earthquakes almost every day, since the big one. It also makes you wonder if everything coming out of Japan is safe?

So everyone has 2 heads and the cars are radioactive? C'mon don't be so naive, they still have quality control etc. Plus the whole country is not glowing green. :rolleyes:

I hope you are trolling son, but if you are serious..

Never mind the fact that toyota are making a huge profit, to spite the natural disasters, an extremely strong (to the point some consider it overvalued) yen as well as re-call dramas in the USA and other countries... If thats doing bad, What would you call the complete and utter meltdown of the american automotive industry?

It also makes you wonder if everything coming out of Japan is safe?

Sh** like this really makes my blood boil.. so apologies for the following rant;

How fu***** ignorant are you? Seriously... you clearly have no understanding of the situation (or lack thereof) in Japan! Have you ever actually been there? Do you know what even happened/where? or did you just listen to the mainstream media overhype the nuclear situation, while completely ignoring the massive humanitarian disaster?

As soon as people hear nuclear, they seem to forget about the tens of thousands of people who lost their homes/lives/families/etc... That is the true disaster!

Yes, there was a nuclear event, yes it was bad, and yes, it did affect some food/products from Japan... The men and women who stayed in Fukushima to keep the situation from getting worse are heros, but this was over 6 months ago now, Japan is well on its way to recovery, and if you understood the japanese as a people/culture, you would realise that their pride would not allow this to happen... and as it happens, the Japanese government banned beef exports, as well as screened everything else coming from affected areas.

The japanese economy needs all the help it can get and people like you perpetuating unfounded fear does not help anyone.

Oh and FYI, I have been to Japan twice since the disaster, I have not been killed by radiation poisoning...

*rant over*

+1 trip for me and +5 trips for workmates ... and we're still all alive and kicking.

You receive more radiation in the flight there than you do in Japan.

Much of the Toyota vehicle production is over 600km away.

I'm with Mick, let's move on ...

yet...... :P hehe

i agree though... as if any 1st world country's government would allow their image to be further tainted with radiation affected produce/products...

seriously... as if they would risk it?!

BGPete wasn't so lucky. Have you seen his avatar?!

With a profit like that, Toyota are unlikely to be in anything close to resembling trouble. Hell even a $2.3bn loss wouldn't necessarily qualify as "in trouble". In fact, many companies (especially SME's) are deliberately run to never post a profit.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
