Agreed,

Even the fabled Toyota/Lexus does not live up to it's reputation. This is my favorite of the manufactures that has convinced people over time that it is of high quality. They have the same engine sludge (design problem) that the page you linked to speak about... Yep, they still use these poor excuses of engines in thier cars... - even motortrend will tell you to make sure when you shop for one that it does not have the problem...

The worst one was Mistubishi. They covered up everything for years in leiu of doing recalls.
