The 10 years is in CaliforniaIt's less than that is a lot of other states.. Also it's 10 below zero in the mid-west I bet a laptop doesn't deal with those temps.
Edit:
Oops, 15 years in CA.

we were told by a source 3 stories down form the 30th floor that when they commit to 10 years anywhere they must honor it anyplace in the world for the same .

Well if that's the case and since I had the facts reversed in my original post I'd be pissed if I lived in California and they now say 10 years since my warrantee book says 15 years in California.

Well , I don't really care what it is in Calif because I don't live there but glad to hear we gained another 5 years unless you have a file 6 inches thick of squeaky shifter consoles and hard seats, low blower power, bluetooth turned black ect, then you may have a problem getting one at 8 years lol. Further more my warrantee book says 120 months or 150K in Calif. which =10years lol

Even @ 1/3 the mileage it would be great for me.

I hate to admit this but I ran mine out of gas this week and it just stopped and would not run on battery. I put gas in it and it would still not start. I then called Toyota and they said pull the battery and let the system reset. I pulled the battery for 10 seconds and it all came back fine. No problems since.
