From: Art on 1 Jul 2007 21:08 It may be built in Durham NC. Initially they were making parts there but they were supposedly upgraded to make whole AT's. But I don't know which model. Some are also built in VA. <johngdole(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:1183246262.814543.121840(a)m37g2000prh.googlegroups.com... > Toyota's recent quality problems have been publicly acknowledged by > the corporate management.

Although hesitation does not occur all the time, when it does, it's completely unpredictable. Because the driver can't predict when it will happen, it becomes a safety problem (in my mind). Mine will hesitate for 2-4 seconds (or more) sometimes, and in the area I drive in, no matter how much you anticipate your next move, it has caused problems. If you want to, go to the NHTSA website and you will see many complaints about hesitation with this new "drive by wire" 4-cylinder engine. Also, there have been "buy backs" by Toyota from unhappy owners. I have already decided to trade in this car at the end of summer (August or September) when the 2008s come out. The new Accord looks to be a winner.

From: EdV on 7 Jul 2007 23:47 No wonder 07 Camry transmission are bad, its considered #2 American- Made Cars : ) http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story.jsp?section=top&subject=ami&story=amMade0707 What Are the Top American-Made Cars? Cars.com's American-Made Index rates vehicles built and bought in the U.S. Factors include sales, where the car's parts are made and whether the car is assembled in the U.S. Models that have been discontinued are disqualified, as are those with a domestic-parts content rating below 75 percent.

Honda has more parts source in the USA than Toyota. So maybe Honda is the top American car ;) Of course, Ford's a Canadian or Mexican company ;) But Toyota's declining quality unfortunately is becoming like the old GM. That said, I think the new generation GM's Epsilon (07 Saturn Aura, 08 Chevy Malibu), Lambda (07 GMC Acadia), and Theta (08 Saturn Outlook) platforms show significant improvements over previous generations of products. I particularly like the new high-tech 6-speed clutch-to- clutch transmission (6L/6T series), 2-mode hybrid system developed with BMW and cylinder deactivation technology. GM did a good job starting the turnaround, and a year ago I wouldn't drive past a GM lot. On Jul 7, 8:47 pm, EdV <systme...(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > What Are the Top American-Made Cars? |
