Hell, just give em 200k mile warranties while you're at it - all Toyota and Lexus vehicles run flawlessly to 250k miles, right, so you wouldn't actually increase your warranty expense costs.... the old thing you'd increase is loss of sales on extended warranties, which apparently only suckers who think Toyotas actually break, buy, anyway, and the cost of those lost warranty sales would be increased by the gain in popularity and purchases by people with newfound confidence in Toyota's extended warranty.

Or could it be that they know their cars break, but know a lot of consumers don't think they do, so they'll play the infallible role by pretending extending warranties is 'beneath them' and all the while laugh while out of warranty Toyota owners pay for high-markup visits to dealer service departments because their Toyota had a 'fluke' and broke, unlike most...
