Toyota announced today that it is committing approximately $50 million over the next five years to fund a new , advanced safety research center that will collaborate with leading North American universities, hospitals, research institutions, federal agencies and other organizations. Known as the Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC), the goal of the project will be to reduce the number of traffic injured and fatalities on American roads.

The move comes after Toyota issued over millions of recalls over the past two years in the United States.

“Toyota’s new safety research center will work with leading North American universities and other partners on safety projects that benefit the entire industry,” said President Akio Toyoda. “Our investment will support collaborative research aiming to reduce driver distraction and increase the safety of vehicles, drivers, passengers and pedestrians.”

FUCK TOYOTA

im sure RL likes this seeing as he likes NON union work.


And who the hell builds a safety center after making dangerous unsafe cars? Isnt that like letting burglars start a security firm?

“The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight high-revving dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”

Good job Toyota. Why don't you guys invest $50K and hire me, and I will design cars for you that are at least not barftastic.

I know right. Look at the front end of that POS. Whats with all the swoopy lines n shit? Do their designers think that adding more lines and odd proportions makes the product better?
