The Toyota Juggernaut Continues ...

[thearsenal1205]

yung hilux conquest din eh.. top of the line na pick-up hindi pa naka leather seats.. although may pagka vinyl type yung leather seat ng toyota ha..

and the HU is not the same as in the fortuner ltd..

[hardwang]

Why other automakers can't copy or imitates toyota's build quality or "tibay-ness"?

Anong meron sa kanila na uniqueness ng pagkatibay?

Do they have trade secrets?

I think I've heard somewhere before, they supposedly follow the "kaizen" way. Not sure but I think it has something to do with continuous improvement until it becomes reliable (?). Its probably in the internet somewhere.

I'm not too sure about that mumbo jumbo. We've had a 1st gen vios before and it was a major pile of s***. The real advantage I think is the supply of parts, kahit saan may nabibili agad.

aside from the many things mentioned in google, that they say make toyota a great car maker,
an auto journalist also wrote that toyota encourages third party manufacture of parts and accessories for toyota vehicles.
a definite plus for toyota parts chasers, who will only add to the songs of praise for toyota.

nung nasa Taxi business kami. we had Sentra's (LEC), E90/E100 Corollas and our friend have Kia Prides

I can say that units are 50-50. I can't confidently say that the Corolla broke down less compared to the Sentras

But Corolla parts are easily accessible that replacing the entire thing is easier than just having a specific part replaced.

E90 and E100 almost shared parts which was also a big plus

It probably helps that a worthy 3rd gen Toyoda helms this juggernaut of a badge...

Water coming inside the tail lights. I saw vios taxis with the same issues. Unusual premature suspension parts wear. Suspension boots were already torn. Water was also coming inside the trunk. All that in less than 5 years.
