I presume so from your email address. Surely, Bob Lutz has access to your balance sheets, as you are a publicly traded company with the necessity to file reports to the SEC. I have no way of knowing if you or Lutz are telling the truth, although Lutz is on record making his claim. Now you are an record disputing his claim. Any evidence beyond assertion? Any reference to SEC and 10K reports? Thanks, Ken Maize P.S., I hope your claims are correct, as I am a loyal Toyota consumer for over 20 years. But I'm also a journalist and paid to be a skeptic.
