"We were using essentially all engineering resources to make sure Camry launched on time," Hanson said. "We are very comfortable that the current generation Corolla would be just fine for an additional year."
"launched on time"? The 07 Camry was released so early than usual. Toyota had a lot of leeway with their "on time" perspective. Sounds like a lot of BS to cover their ass and go back and make some more changes, IMO.
