Seems Toyota answered back and is pretty pissed. This is a complete B.S story but taking shots at Toyota/Lexus is always in season.

Toyota (Lexus) owners have to pay for this through higher prices on the cars, too.

Not to mention that while all the hoopla went on over claims of SUA on Toyota Camry's and Lexus ES350's, with the exception of the ES350, I bet none of the Camry's even had ACC, since that's usually only available on the highest priced packages in these vehicles.
