[quote Pat]pRON,
Toyotas marketing is no different than the big 3 in the truck market, period. Detroits reliance on this market may be a bad business decision, but a lot more has been said about this category period, not just their reliance on it. You keep making the hemi comments, while Toyota is doing the SAME type of marketing in the same market.
The reliability statement was a broad sweep for anyone who wanted to bring that up, not you in particular.
I never said anything about reliability.
Secondly, Toyota is balancing out their advertisements with their hybrid line. Their car sales had no issues before the big truck push. Facts are facts, the big 3 suffered losses as their big truck and SUV sales went down. If they had their car lines bolstered and advertised as much, maybe they would not be hurting as much.
