Why don't they use the pedal they use in the Lexus and Scion? Why the fuck do they have a different pedal in the first place? I don't believe them.

cost? Are they made at the same plant? Does that matter?

First, the traditional fuel injection uses a throttle plate connected directly to the pedal. This pedal controls the throttle plate electronically.

Another untroubled Toyota pedal design comes from Denso. This pedal is manufactured (and therefore designed) by CTS in Indiana.

But again, Toyota demonstrated why the problem existed. Wantabe was removed long ago. Toyoda then said Toyota has many serious problems. You have again seen an example of why that failure probably existed so long ago and was ignored. Reports of this problem existed long before it became news worthy. To get the problem fixed, apparently Toyota has to replace the reason why that problem (and others) was being ignored. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.

While we're mook-ing, I'm calling mook on you, tw. Less than thirty seconds of Googling would have gotten you Watanabe's correct spelling. You did not make even this minimal effort, and you come up short.

Just another example of wacko extremists attacking a centrist because hate is his only objective. Rather than discuss the topic, his political agenda says he must post another cheap shot. As if Cheney and Limbaugh, et al rhetoric did not do enough damage to civility and informed discussion ...

Bosh, son: I am Middle America, and you are fringe. Read your own posts and mine to see how fringy your thinking is, and how regular mine is.

You're a whiner, too. Babyish, as the above quote shows. Your entire personality is designed to keep anyone from taking you seriously. That should by rights include you. My political agenda is also manifestly superior to yours, and always has been since the day I came to the Cellar. You should adopt something better, and develop human, liberty-minded values while you are at it. Until then, you are highly defective regardless of your politics. Your inability to copyedit, and inability to conceive of copyediting, acts to undermine you. You have zip attention to detail, and your incapacity with any and all languages is a shame to you. Prostrate yourself and beg forgiveness of the entire English-speaking world, and then spell correctly, ultra-megadolt. Including Watanabe, which ain't but Smith in Japanese.

You do not have actual cause to laugh, Sam. I defy you to prove you have anything to support so silly an opinion. I don't think you've got anything real.

Pete, howdy, and you have no visible room to talk either. I am vehement in the cause of good and of virtue -- and of smarts. What are you vehement in the cause of, that would contrast with these?

ZenGum · 02-03-2010, 05:24 AM

It's the dead-pan delivery that makes it so good.

Not really trying to stir things up, but I certainly don't see UG as centrist. Does anyone?

Besides UG.
