He's a brillant, dedicated, enthusiastic car guy and Toyota was lucky to get him when they did! Jim was smart enough to see the opportunity when he was in his mid twenties. He is the person responsible for Toyota's and Lexus' stellar performance in the US and one of the few, if not the only American the Japanese would listen to. The next non-Japanese person on the Toyota board--I doubt it will happen any time soon if ever! There is no one at Toyota that can replace Jim Press.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
