We became a Toyota family after my daughter bought one and the thing lasted forever (almost).

Now each of us have bought one and they have been the best cars we’ve ever owned.

I don’t see Stellantis on that list. For good reason.

FTA: ...”legacy brands defend their share against fast-growing electric vehicle makers.”

Am I missing the trend, or are they ?

You might say BYD’s growth has been explosive!

Thanks for posting. BYD? Interesting. I’ve had good experiences with Hondas and some Toyotas. I have a Honda, my wife a Chevy. Kids and grandkids Honda, VW, Audi.

My wife and I drive a 2017 Toyota Sienna minivan and a 2012 Honda Odyssey minivan. Our son still drives our previous 2005 Toyota Sienna minivan ( with 285,000 miles on it and AC still ice cold). Outstanding vehicles for comfort, longevity, and reliability.

Bought my first Toyota in April, a Camry awd hybrid.

Getting 43mpg and the bugger runs like a scalded cat.

Handles snow covered roads with aplomb.

Only 11,000 miles so far so no idea about maintenance but I’m happy with it.

We are delighted with our Tesla Model Y. As far as I am concerned, if it isn’t a Tesla, it’s just a car.

Our stable has: 2015 Acura, 2018 Toyota Sequoia, 2013 Honda CRV and two antique VW beetle convertibles.

All of our modern vehicles stay out of the shop and I can still work on and get parts for the old VW’s.

I’m actually surprised Tata didn’t make the list, given their home market.

How to tell if a country is a sh*thole country: it does not produce any cars. I’m surprised a Communist country like China is in the game but the Chinese in spite of that have a long history of a high trust culture.
