    The problem isn't the car it's the DRIVER!

    Just like that stupid floor mat recall for the Camry a few years ago. 100% DRIVER issue and not the car mats fault. But because of some DRIVERS who weren't competent enough to CHECK their floor mats before they drove someone, Toyota had to deal with the bad press because of a few ______.

    I'll let you be the first to test it. :)

    We already know what happens when 'P' is pressed at highway speed on older Prii.

    Most kidnap victims who jump out, do so from passenger doors, not the driver's door.

    Learn how to open the hatch from inside too.

    So now when I'm trying to park with the tires right on the edge of the driveway, but not touching the lawn, and I open the door to see exactly where I am as I maneuver, the car will slam into Park? :eek:

    Toyota can please some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but they can't please all of the people all of the time.
