I have a Toyota truck with 279,000 miles. No major work done on it. I would buy another Toyota. Had a '95 that was still going strong when a tornado destroyed it

I have a chevy truck with 287,000 miles on it and no major work, I would buy American again.

These stories can be from either side of the automotive table. I have had a Toyota that was nothing but problems and was in the shop more than my driveway, also had a Chevy like that, and a Honda, and a Dodge. I have also had Fords, Dodges, and a Nissan go well over 200,000 without a major problem.

I wonder what the numbers will be like when the dust settles from this debacle.

That's a good point. It's all about timing. You need to pick the right time to buy.

Toyota makes boring cars, but the business is decent.

I'm not quite sure if the adjective "boring" quite applies to Toyota cars anymore.

BEAUTIFULLY STATED, Bydand.

I usually only buy American but weakened a few years ago and chose a new Mercedes . . . A FREAKIN EXPENSIVE NIGHTMARE.

I swore NEVER AGAIN.

Very true. I know Toyoda said Toyota had to inject fun into its cars, but i don't think this is what he had in mind.

Wait till the 2011 list comes out, Toyota is toast. As an American I am glad.
