found this recent article about Toyota quality. http://www.thecarconnection.co...=7401I wasn't happy to see that NUMMI was a quality issue for Toyota, but I can discredit the author based on the following comment and the knowledge that NUMMI doesn't build matrixesQuote, originally posted by "see link" »The NUMMI plant in California is below Toyota standards, with quality scores of the Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe, which is also built there, well down the rankings.

I know parts for the Matrix are built in plants all around ontario, we got one here in woodstock. I know there is a Toyota plant in Kitchener though I don't know whats made there... but I have been hearing about the failing standards at the toyota plants... My Vibe was made in california.

I did the tour at NUMMI and the only cars made ther were the Corolla and Vibe on the same line and the Tacoma made else where in the plant. I would say that this guy has no clue!
