Hilarious. I would agree with you, but with one minor exception:

Toyota made some truly useful cars in the mid-to-late 90's, some really reliable and economic cars. My girlfriend drives a '97 Tercel that still purrs like a cat and gets 40mpg commuting to work (on 87-octane!). It's no SLK for sure, but it's a great little car. I really like the Toyotas, but their newer cars are really starting to go downhill quality-wise in my opinion, and for some reason, their gas mileage is just really starting to suck. The new Scion TC, for instance, only gets about 25mpg on the freeway.
