I do not think anybody here bashes Toyota's just because they are Toyota's. Rather, I think some people (myself included) take issue with Toyota reviewers who using the Toyota review section to make claims of Toyota's being infallible, while excoriating domestics that many of us (who have been burned by Toyota's) know based on experience are much more reliable than Toyota's.
The rose colored Toyota glasses tend to come off after experiencing disasters like these:

None of my domestics have ever had these types of problems.

"All of the Domestic branded vehicles I rented were absolutely sub-par compared to the Hondas and Toyotas we have in our family. "
Well, that's your opinion and you're welcome to it. Because of its subjectivity, your "argument" doesn't sway me, and won't prevent me from buying a Dodge or Ford when the time comes. I see no reason to consider Honda or Toyota based on your 'feeling' of a few rentals.
