You left out engineering and design. I also own two Toyotas and will be sticking with them until Toyota gives me a reason to quit buying them.

How about 5.7L engine failure recalls with the new Toyota Tundra truck, or catastrophic steering column failurs with the new Toyota Avalon sedan? There is a price to pay in quality, when sales volume is pursued above all else, and Toyota has been guilty of that, according to certian executives with Toyota itself. This is coming from someone who drove Toyotas for twenty years. I don't like the styling of the newest Toyota models, which ranges from bland to peculiar, especially the Tacoma. I owned and loved Tacomas for many years, but didn't care for the looks of them after the 2000 model year, the last one I purchased.

I had a 2003 Tundra Limited, and it was the best truck I have ever owned. I traded it in on a 2005 Sienna XLE Limited which is much more than we could hope for from any mini-van. I now drive a 2006 Corolla S and in two years have put more than 50,000 miles on it. I like getting 38 mpg from a car that handles well, is solid, and has enough pep to get me out of trouble if needed. I have to admit that the new Tacoma has styling problems. The 2000 body style of the Taco is my favorite. If I could find a used one for a descent price, I would get it for a 3rd vehicle, but the resale on them is more than I want to spend.
