I’m not loyal to any brand. I know that everything comes from everywhere, and somewhere along the lines, almost everything I buy involves at least one American and at least one foreigner. Being free of brand loyalty leaves me to find the good and bad of every car that I drive, and I drive a lot of cars. I say congratulations to Toyota for doing a good job in marketing and research.

However, like MurderedOut said, just because they won ONCE, doesn’t mean they are the king of cars. Mike Tyson is a great boxer, and won a lot of championships, but he is no Muhammad Ali. In the same vein, Thunder Chicken states that #1 in sales doesn’t mean “the best”, either. I liked Thunder Chicken’s analogies, but I’ll add that McDonald’s may outsell Lone Star, but I’d much rather eat at Lone Star any day.

I think the current market situation and gas prices had a lot to do with it, but Toyota did a good job. GM has a reputation (as incorrect as it is) that they have to destroy. But they can do it. 2010 will be a good year for cars. I can’t wait.

Everyone is getting screwd by the Chinese cheap goods.

…And if Americans were as xenophobic as the Japanese, I wonder how successful Toyota would have been on this continent? After all, Toyta can lump JDM sales into their total, while GM is virtually shut out of that market…

I DO NEED TO LEARN HO WHO SPELL,
BUT AT LEAST I’M NO SORRY AS WUSSY THAT THANK HIS $#IT DON’T STINK, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR YOGA CLASS, DRINK YOU GREEN GRASS DRINKS, EAT YOUR TO-FU SUSHI, DRIVE YOUR 55-MPG TOYOTA PRIUS AND FILL GOOD ABOUT YOUR SELF SAVING THE WORLD, YOU CAN HAVE ALL THAT…
I JUST SAYING THAT A CHEVY, FORD & DODGE WILL BE THE ONLY CARS IN MY DRIVE WAY, EVERY THING ELS IS A BIG MAYBE, BUT FOR SURE NO TOYOTA’S,

UNLESS TOYOTA MOTOR CO. COMES TO ME AND GIVES A TOYOTA & LEXUS DEALERSHIP, $100 MILLION FOR MY RACE TEAMS AND FULL SPONSORSHIP, BUT NO, I’M NO NASCAR DRIVER, I’M JUST A JOE THAT WORKS HARD FOR HIS MONEY AND WILL SPEND IT AS DAM WELL FILL LIKE IT…..

GOOD LUCK TOYOTA AS LONG AS YOU HAVE LOYAL CUSTOMER LIKE “6ix” YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT.

Learn how to spell. I guess literacy is something that eludes GM fans.

I remember we lived in East L.A. and my dad was in to low riders, and they were all Chevy’s, and my uncle live out in the valley and they were all in to muscle cars, I had the best of two worlds, I know some of you can relate….

Toyota good luck in being No.1, but just know you can never replace what some of us will always hold dear to our harts, when was the last time you see some one paying over $500,000.00 for a old Toyota, I don’t thank so….
