wife has a Toyota Highlander and it's awesome. Father in law has a basic 1/2 ton tundra and it looks like hell. Farm truck that has been wedged between trees so tightly that the trees had to be cut down to get the truck out.
Back in the day cars use to die at around 100k miles. Nowadays you buy a truck used at 100k miles...know what the differance was? Quality of the production...know why? The japs stepped in and upped the quality of production. Granted they had a few bad years with bodies and frames as their construction wasn't use to our salty winter roads and the trucks would rust out, but the motors and trannies were still ready to run.
Maybe we need to take this to the Domestic vs Import thread in Touchy Subject ;D
