    For those making noise (w/o knowing much about manufacturing and supply chains) and claiming Toyota mismanagement after disaster in Japan, the below might prove insightful along with the updates at Notices | Renesas Electronics America, esp. right after the earthquake.

    I've actually never visited TATC much other than during the CTS vs. Denso pedal analysis but it seems they have some good stuff and I'll be visiting more often now.

    The above also links to http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110408/OEM10/110409902/1329 which also has some good stuff.
