GM Calls the Top for Oil

Why is it news that GM and Ford are adjusting their model mix to customer demand? Toyota is reducing the production of its Tundra, which has proven to be a collosal waste of money for them. One year late in getting to market because they couldn't build the plant properly. The had to fire the Japanese plant manager. Then, the Tundra comes out and is hit with three recalls in the first year of production, including blown engines. To make their modest sales goal, they had to offer $6,000 rebates to get people to buy it.

Toyota just launched their new LARGER 2008 Sequoia which is based on the Tundra. It also has been a dud in sales.

I'm looking forward to reading your insightful analysis on Toyota's product failures.
