Go to Post FIRST is a community unlike the public at large, with the distinction lying on its gracious professionalism. I have no doubt that the community will continue to uphold and cherish this unique characteristic through difficult events such as this. - Joon Park [more]

Two words:

Patent infringement

(unless, of course, if Toyota bought rights from Segway)
