From The Times February 10, 2010 Motor city where everyone has to be driven Everything you see in Toyota City lives in the drudge service of the company
The last time I was in Detroit, my lunch date was stabbed in the neck and the man I was supposed to interview resigned in a stripper-corruption-gunfight scandal. The tyres of my rented Ford were slashed in the car park. Compared with Toyota City it was lovely.
Toyota cars may have the odd defect, but Toyota City is flawless. The perfect corporate gulag, it is what happens when you cross the charm of an Ikea car park with the artistic flair of a Corolla.
Everything you see lives in the drudge service of Toyota. The town changed its name from Koromo in the 1950s, but everyone seems uneasy explaining why. The people are haunted by slogans that imply thankless sacrifice. In Detroit guns are prevalent. In Toyota, everyone seems to own a propelling pencil. It is far more disturbing. A cultish feel gives the streets an atmosphere somewhere between Postman Pat and that homicidal Scottish village in The Wicker Man.
