I hope the NUMMI curse doesn't get them. My 2003 Corolla (NUMMI) is

If you look at what Toyota is selling today, it is apparent its quality
perception is not what it was when they were selling cars in the hundreds of
thousands.

Now that they are selling in the millions, their average 2% of failure rate
for all manufactured products, is more obvious.

Who said there was a curse. The last curse was lifted when Boston won
the WS.
