Re: Chrysler Hire's Toyota's Top U.S. Exec

Ya, I heard about this last week. Press has taken alot of the credit for making Toyota what it is in North America. He had been with them since 1970...Chrysler must have offered him something good. I think it is a great move on Chrysler's part to get him on the squad!!
