Last Tuesday, Wall Street Journal had good article tracing Toyota's
design, engineering, testing and quality assurance programs since 2006.
Covers what's being done to straighten out this mess. Primary source is
an engineer named Stevens who's also Avalon product manager.

Good analysis of what goes wrong in very large auto companies. Worth a
read.
