It's funny how when your #1, people will line up to try and take you down. Granted......Toyota quality may not be what it once was............but compared to Ford ,GM and Chrysler........they are still light years ahead of the big 3. A few weeks back i read a story that compared the average number of problems in an 8 year old Toyota to a 3-4 year old from the big 3. The average number of problems incountered in an 8(eight) year old Toyota was about the same as a 3 year old Ford, GM or Chrysler. That speaks directly to design and quality. This study was done very recently.....I have had some personal bad experiences with Chevy personally and i have never..........with almost 7 years owning a Toyota had any problems related to quality. Need i say anymore??
