There was definitely a range of years there that were very bad, but right now I would not say reliability is bad. It really depends on what model you buy.
In the last 10 years I've owned a 80's corvette and a 90's mustang gt, neither of which needed anything from me but basic maintenance. Certainly a camry is a better car than a malibu, but for that kind of money it had sure as heck better be. Once you go upmarket a bit there are respectable cars to choose from from almost any maker.

I bought a warranty for my Tacoma through Troy almost a year ago. He is very professional and willing to help. I had bought the truck used and wanted the 7yr/100,000 just in case.

I guess we hate those american cars made in the last 30 years because most of us inherited those cars when we were in high school and they sucked. I guess they took the consumer for granted and now they're paying the consequences of forgetting the basic rules of capitalism. Is the same Boeing is doing now, they want to sell the Air Force (or the american people) overprice piece of junks just because they're "American". Is just basic economics, you won't buy a dell for the price of a Mac or Lenovo laptop. As long as the automaker is making cars here and buying supplies from US suppliers, I don't don't see where your American pride is hurt. You should take offense on those business models where you get the same over priced crap with different logo or skin. The day Toyota & Honda stop making reliable cars, they will go belly up too.
P.S. Any airplane "american" or "european" has about 80% of the parts are not made in the country the planes are assemble. Better to have planes build with European parts than Chinese made parts that will kill many servicemen/women in the long run. Last edited by oncex; 03-30-2009 at 03:26 PM.. |

Toyota is a publicly traded company with an investment of about $12 billion in the United States. Unlike Ford/GM, Toyota makes profits. Of those profit, about 15% stays in the US because of the shareholders being US Citizens/Residents. Unlike the American shareholders of Ford/GM, who bring in no profits, the American people holding shares of Toyota bring in money and pay taxes on it. You want your money to stay in America so you bought a ford? Here is the truth for you, Ford and GM are not making any money... and Toyota and its shareholders, even though is taking profits to Japan, is still giving more money to the US treasury in the form of taxes/Employment than GM/Ford?Chrysler who are just asking for more and more money. I am a proud American and a Proud Owner of an American built Toyota Camry built by hardworking Non-Unionized American Workers in Georgetown, KY. |

You're forgetting one fairly major point. Where do the parts come from?
Toyota and Honda source virtually all of their parts from asian manufacturers. We might assemble it here, but that's a fairly small piece of the pie. GM and Chrysler may be hemorrhaging money, but Delphi, Champion, Faurecia, Delco Remy, Mallory, etc. still employ tons of people. These people pay taxes, no?

FWIW, Toyota warranties through Troy @ Greenfield hav been recommended by Priuschat forum users for years.
