International patents would be ridiculous to have to deal with. I don't know how anything gets built.

I think Honda and Ford license some of their hybrid technology from Toyota. Wonder where they stand in this claim?

Nissan gets their hybrid technology from Toyota as well. It seems this has to do with the new Synergy Drive, which has only been available for a few months on the Gen III Prius, and the brand new Lexus HS250h.

You are right...it is Nissan, not Honda. I did not catch the Gen III connection.

Then they need to look at Hyundai ripping off the styles of the other automakers! LOL Seen one today and thought it was a Bimmer. And there are many other examples of Hyundias that look like other cars.

It seems that there are lots of ongoing investigations being done one Toyota vehicles. OT: Some vehicles were recalled due to corrosion problems and now this. Not sure which came first.

jeffy, I think the corrosion problems were on the early 2000 Gen 1 Tundras. I don't remember hearing of any corrosion issues with the Gen 2.
