Toyotas are awesome. They'll run like a top for years with minimal maintenance work. It's pretty simple. The big three got a bad rep here in American over the past decade or so while companies like Toyota, Hyundai, Honda seemed to step their game up. The domestics seem to be getting a little better these days and I still like the American full sized trucks. The notion that we should buy American just because "it's American" is ridiculous and is probably why they lost so much steam. They assumed people would keep buying them and their quality went down hill as they cut corners or stopped innovating. It doesn't mean I'll never buy "American", just not until they can offer the same value/quality product that these other companies are putting out there.
