Toyota head expresses remorse

Tokyo -- Toyota Motors Chief Executive Officer Akio Toyoda issued apologies to consumers, families of accident victims and tax collectors at a news event in Japan.

At an appearance at the Japan National Press Club, Toyoda said the automaker was "grasping for salvation," The New York Times reported Friday.

With Toyota predicted to lose about $5 billion in the current fiscal year, he said it was "agonizing" to close a car plant in California. He even apologized to consumers, saying automakers had "abandoned our passion for cars."

To the government, he added, "I want Toyota to return to profit, so we can start paying taxes and go back to contributing to society."
