Toyota Auris review (06/02/2013)
VW topped the 9m for the first time last year, while GM sold 9.29m units. The Japanese outfit has staged a remarkable comeback from a variety of setbacks. Firstly, there was the series of Toyota recalls, ending with tearful company chief, Akio Toyoda, apologising to the US Congress for his company’s failings.
It was a public relations disaster for Toyota and cast a dark cloud over its “best-built cars in the world” advertising tag-line, but I was impressed by how the company ‘fessed-up’ to its misdemeanours.
