You can say it ... but, it does not make any sense. I saw the original story on CNN and I don't think that Lexus/Toyota is in trouble based on the single memo at the heart of the story. I believe that the cars have been modified with a brake override that would prevent the incident reported in the story from happening on 2011 and newer vehicles.

You stole my response. In a couple of days, if not already, this story will be old news.

Just to add a little more 'factual' info, CNN is trying fabricate news over a car in pre production feature testing. It's not like they haven't done it before. Another mod closed this link just to keep it from being miss-understood and I agree. Here is the dumb CNN link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car-...about-sua.html .
