A guy who had the Toyota way system, first few generations of Corollas and Celicas and the creation of the Lexus brand on his "done that" list. However, we have an exec. that's just as capable, running Toyota now, and he likes to drive. Eiji was a providential exec., but Akio has the energy and hands on approach, Eiji lacked, he knows that sometimes in business, there's no time to be calculated. Sometimes you have to be fast and bold, and Akio is, he is so bold that he offers Japan's upper class the possibility of getting a fuchsia Crown.

Kinja'd!!!


And he is the one who offered Toyota, the sports car, once again.

Wrong Toyoda. Plus he was 100 years old and a few days when he died.

I was talking about the present, not the past. Everybody is sorry about Eiji's death, but the one running Toyota today, is Akio, so in a way, he is more relevant to us, car nuts.
