I was wondering the same thing, too. We’re a ‘Toyota family’....and they are GREAT cars. Mine’s a ‘98 and still runs like new.
I had a 1996 Tacoma pickup that had 300k miles on it and I sold it to a guy who drove it out to California and back. All I did was replace wear and tear items with the exception of the recall for the leaf springs. It’s still running today and was recently repainted at 400k miles. I own a Solera, Camry and a Corolla and they run like tops. I swear this is a conspiracy. I did own a 1990 Chevrolet S-10 pickup that literally fell apart at 35K miles. Luckily for me theended warranty that I purchased covered most of the repairs which cost more than what the truck was worth at the time. I sold the S-10 for the Toyota.
This is all about getting the UAW thugs into the non-union factories in the USA. BMW, TOyo, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Porsche, etc etc. Hit the biggest (Toyota) one hard.
