Politically they are a very aware company. And they are aware that passing G.M. in this political environment is somewhat tricky.

I am not sure that it is such a lay up for Toyota. If G.M. is going to grow 15-20 percent in China, they are not going to roll over.

In times of yen weakness, Lexus is just a treasure chest.

A lot depends on how you drive them.

Will they displace Mercedes and BMW? The reality is it may be hard, ... They're just taking Toyotas and selling them somewhere else.
