They are not a consideration for our household anymore. I'm a faithful repeat buyer from the late 70s to 2004. Every 3 years my wife bought one. Some were so similar looking that it was just a color change for quite a while. We use to possess your mindset too at that time, til quality dropped. That's a lot of years to have been buying new imports, one after another. I drive many highway miles annually; I have yet to replace an engine or trans in any domestic. Keep the oil changed, and I order the heavier duty cooling systems and trans coolers. I never order a 4 cylinder with A/C. I like V6 or V8 with at least 300 HP.
List all the so-called facts you want, it doesn't mean Toyota makes the best cars. If you want to see quality, take a look-see at my 2008 RAV4 thread I posted a couple of days ago.
