I'm proud of being able to use the word "lemon" and "produce" in the same subject line, but clever puns are beside the point.
When I was kid my dad came home with an almost new 1975 Toyota Celica GT which was the sharpest, coolest, sportiest car we had ever owned. The Celica was a replacement for a '74 Chevy Vega that was utter junk from day one.
The Celica GT wasn't fast by modern sports car standards, but at the time we considered it a fast, fun car to drive . . . when it would crank and actually run. That car, despite being very new at the time, had endless electrical and carburetor problems that kept it in the shop all the time.
We had begun to hear how Toyota cars and pickups were so much better than domestic brands, so it came as shock to my dad that the Celica GT ended up giving as many problems as the Vega.
Reckon just how often Toyota turns out a real lemon vehicle?
