I hate Toyota - I wouldn't mind Porsche / VW taking over the world! They own the best brands. I can't think of one Toyota car I like. The Lexus GS something or other isn't too bad but everything is looks like crap. The other interesting thing for me as a foreigner living in Japan, most Japanese people like non Japanese cars. In my apartment block there is only one Japanese car - owned by a stupid old woman who CANNOT DRIVE.

Lastly, the cars Toyota offers the international market are way better than what they offer the Jap market. They have something like 35 - 36 different junk models here. Hard to tell them apart.
