[My Opinion] TOYOTA







Toyota temporarily halts sales of eight models

The carmaker took the unprecedented action because the vehicles' gas pedals can get stuck and cause unwanted acceleration. Toyota will also stop making the cars and trucks Monday.



According to press reports, the German automobile company, Volkswagen is likely to take an opportunity which may conquer the automobile field. In the bottom line, TOYOTA company seems to be frustrated by the makeshift way of management.
In my personal view, I feel so sorry and sad. Whatever else might be said, TOYOTA is the main company in terms of automobile business. Success comes and gone. I hope TOYOTA will be reformed by this bitter lesson.

But rather than turning to banks or big investors for money, they're inviting customer to buy bonds. Bonds that will pay chocolate returns.
