in [Toyota Prius]

From: Neo on 25 Feb 2010 07:19 Normally - CEOs act as the lead Public relations/sales manager of a firm - the best they can do is either deny something, agree with you, or say they'll get back to you with an answer later. Having CEO appear before Congress - is not going to be a fact-finding-hearing but more of a public grievance and tongue lashing session. Which is what happens in most public hearing (the outcome is already pre-determined by actions occuring outside and before the public hearing ). For immediate answers for a technical qustion - the two persons in manufacturing that are much more likely to know the answer on the spot are the Project/Lead R&D Engineer and the Project/Lead Testing Engineer for a particular product. While some Toyotas are not made in Japan - they are all designed, developed, and tested in Japan so all the engineers would most likely need a Japanese Translator who specialized in translating computer technology, engineering, and scientific works ( who probably would also be an engineer or scientist as well). Needless to say Toyota's engineers and Dr. David Gilbert are not in agreement at this time. On Feb 23, 8:32 pm, john <johngd...(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > Some excellent testimony videos.

I forgot. Statement above is still correct. Just substitute "Lexus" for "Camry". -- Tegger
