We are proud of our record as an auto industry environmental leader and firmly believe our vehicles comply with the testing procedures as originally written.

When these investigations are over, we will have incarcerated the major portion of the Mongolian Boys Society. But they are still recruiting, so we don't know when they'll stop.

I wouldn't wish this on anybody. It's a tough feeling. ... A lot of stuff came down in a hurry. It went really fast once it started going.

Those eggs have been sitting in the high marsh for as long as two years waiting for something like this.

Toyota just saves and saves in a million little ways and then uses that money as a club against its competitors.

I can see it being used by crime scene investigators we deal constantly (with) minute amounts of DNA in corpses at death scenes.
