Couldn't watch past a few minutes. Those guys are supposed to be journalists?!!! Toyota gives them excusive access to film the production of the first GX550 and they can't even be bothered to find out anything about what they were looking at?! How freaking hard would it have been to find out what each of the chem baths was for or how much things weighed etc. If you are going to point it out and film it, then find out what it is. FFS - you are at the plant- EVERYONE else there knows what is going on - just ask so you can convey at least some basic info. All to way over to Tahara and they can't even do some basic prep work. If they were such 'car nerds' they would have a modicum of curiosity to find out what they are filming.

This is what internet journalism has become!
