Toyota world’s most respected company
July 7, 2008 by Alborz Fallah
If Toyota fans needed any more ammunition to support their brand, here it is. More than 60,000 people in 27 countries have anonymously voted Toyota as the world’s most respected company.
Scoring 86.53 out of 100 in a survey conducted by New York-based private research and consulting firm Reputation Institute, the Big T came out as number one amongst the world’s top 1,000 companies on perceptions of trust, esteem, admiration and good feeling.
No other car company was listed in the top 30. Volvo came in at 32nd, Honda 39th, BMW 88th and Daimler 99th.
Google came in behind Toyota which also led from Swedish furniture retailer IKEA and Italian chocolate-maker Ferrero.
In a more local study, Australian Reader’s Digest has also reported that Toyota is the most trusted automotive brand in the country. Mercedes-Benz came in second, followed by BMW, Holden, Honda and Mazda. Mitsubishi came in last (no doubt affected by its Adelaide plant closure).
Print it: 
Name calling simply shows low intellect when it comes to defending an argument,something you and Dingo excel at!
Have you looked up the word Bogan and its meaning yet Tomas?
Can I give you an insite into what they drive?
• A particular choice in motor vehicle. The bogan usually drives one of two makes of vehicle. Typically this is either a Holden or a Ford . Common bogan variants manufactured by each of these companies include the Holden Commodore (VB-VP models), Holden Kingswood and the Ford Falcon (all models up to the recent EF). Other well known bogan vehicles include early model Datsuns and TOYOTAS
mmm….so it seems any early Holden Ford Datsun or Toyota your a Bogan……………Well thats me out and Im guessing most others on this thread……….so stop the name calling Tomas cause thats another battle you’ve just lost!
C’mon Bavarian Missile Millatime Fenno George etc….
we have successfully won the battle. Let’s leave this battlefield where we have left the bodies of our Toyota Loving enemies/victims lying in our wake….
Mmmm…. sounds kind of familiar doesn’t it Dingo; TP?
hahaha………Im really beginning to like you Millatime,
As he lives in Perth to I cant wait to met him a the lights………….Ill give him a head start!hehehe
There is a japanese proverb which says he who throws the first punch is lost.
Given that the Toyo-philes on this site are such big fans of Japanese culture etc.. they should be able to guess that what the proverb means is that:
By resorting to insults personal attacks and using offensive language etc and not being able to show any signs of self control or hold a discussion in a courteous civilised manner
You are running out of options and resources to help support your arguements… once you do that you start to lose the fight
Which going by several of your comments particularly those from Dingo and Oh What A Feeling they obviously did.
Alot of Traditional Japanese culture is based around living in harmony [Feng-Shui] something it seems Oh What A Feeling and his Crue are unable to do.
Tomas79
…bad pasting, grammar and wheels too…
Now I’ve got to add really poor comprehension skills as well..
Please, I don’t want you to like me..
So Tomas79 are you one of the 0.00000000000000000000000001% of 4×4 owners who are game enought to get their precious 2-pack metallic paintwork dirty and actually take it off road?
Wheelnut -
I agree, time to leave them to their shattered dreams..
It’s been fun, well done BM and Fenno
Goodnight all!
hahaha…….you couldn’t resist could you babe!
Oh whats up Tomas hit a nerve? The point was that once again you’ve missed the point,you talk about performance cars and you drive a FWD………..nothing wrong with that had 2 land cruisers myself,they make great off road and tow vehicles ,they dont make a tow bar for an M3………but what have you owned thats performance to compare against?
I have a good friend that has a 2007 Prado Grande but also owns an XC Cobra a BF Cobra and has a 2008 Shelby GT 500 on its way……………does that make him a bogan too?
What debate Dingo its done and dusted………..
Night Millatime………..Im off too for a while,got things to do!
How apt antispam word: BMWM3
Well ccording to dictionary.com a Bogan is a backwater or a narrow stretch of water [similar to a creek]
There are no definitions where the word Bogan refers to any human characteristics or qualities etc at all
Bavarian Missile,
Racing off on the Light, thats such a bogan and imature thing to do!!
I’m personally glad they started taking away cars from hoons!!
After racing off other cars at the traffic lights, are you gonna continue your bogan night out doing burn outs at your local woollies parking lot?
I don’t own a FWD!! It’s a constant full-time 4wd!!
And yeah, it might not be the fastest car onroad, but certainly is more fun off-road on the weekends!!
And why the talk of performance cars?? thats what not the topic is about!!

Of course, go to pradopoint.com and see how many people genuinely do take them off road!!
Good Stuff Luke Gt,
I hope you ruffle some feathers, and draw some blood again!!

“As for your W***er comment.
I am a male. Any male who denies that they do your afore-mentioned act, is truly in denial and should maybe question their own selves before passing judgement.”
Ok you might not be in denial, but I really hope you won’t go into the forum, and “Knock a few off” to the pics of my ride!!!!!! :-)
Luke GT, Ford does not manufacture Tires, you see they manufacture cars for enthusiasts, the Explorer was “floored” when they fitted Firestone tires to the SUVs and Firestone admitted they made fawlty tires causing rollovers, so who’s in the wrong hmmmmmmmmm I guess the Firestone company.
Suggest u talk to Wheels mag about the Kluger they rolled.LOL. ….OOCH !!
How many deaths did foul handling Toyotas cause over the last forty years or so? Kapow…ouchy couchy
They should be done for murder…. 280 people, ridiculous. Toyota stop sales when their CARS may die… Ford keeps selling when their CUSTOMERS will die.
TP long time no drivel!
Wow LukeGT,TP and Tomas69 on the one thread.
The three luminaries of Toyota Loving.
All driving their Coronas to the Toyota club picnic.Lol
I think Lukegt that u flogged the demonstrator Aurion because subconsciously u hate Toyota and that was your way of exercising this demon so to speak.
P.S HOW ARE YOUR WRISTS?
Here we go again Toyota Lovers quoting here say.
Quite a few TuRD adverts in there too.
Did they mention to be aware of the stability program on the Kluger?
Sounds like they should call it Australian New Toyota Buyer.Ha Ha Ha.
Go and test drive a VE SS LukeGT u know u want too!
Then u can see what a real performance car drives like.
They do go better!
Better wait until they remove the splints from your wrists.
No doubt medicos will point to cars like the Aurion in the future for the rise in carpal tunnel syndrome.
LukeGT, Good stuff!!
Mate, sounds like bogan fairies will be crying themselfs to sleep tonight!!!
Hey Realcars!!
I’m still waiting for you to tell me what car you drive, I been waithing from a few post back??!! Better yet, post it up on the forum, I’m up for a good laugh!! :-)
you guys are tards.
LukeGT, yep thats holden for you!!
Thanks for that tip, I’ll get that issue, for a good laugh and future reference :-)!!
They were so lucky the TRD aurion wasn’t present….
Seriusly, i get the feeling that even the koreans now have overtaken these two big domestics, in termsof quality!!
Seriously, if the TRD released a RWD aurion, ford and holden might as well shut their plants!!

realcars, you mean the 3 Wise men, who followed the signs of success, that lead them to the Big T!!!
sorry guys i work at night so can only get on here like now! my comment’s on the qtr mile times for a trd aurion are 100% truth i know the car that did it, it is showroom and i mean showroom 1000km on the clock no mods at all they didn’t even take out the spare! we were just as surprised as everyone because of the magizine article’s saying 14.1 time’s well they either dont know how to drive a front steerer or there timing equipment is wrong! so bavarian missile i am still waiting to kick your ass on the straight track or round i dont care put your money where your BIG mouth is! i live in queensland and willowbank raceway is my closest track or maybe your 10 year old beemeer would break down getting there and then knowing bmws that will cost you many $1000’s to get it back on the road!!!!!
no lukegt it was at a test & tune just before the winters so the track was not fully prepared like the times they did at the winters! everyone was blowen away by how quick the trd was, that is a lot quicker than most SO CALLED high performace passenger cars getting around today!
they can do that and still get 9.9lt/per100km fuel consumption what’s a hsv rated at around 16.9lt/per100km!
Another Decisive Victory for Toyota!!!
toyota may have a couple of models that are a bit plane, but the engine and parts you dont have to replace all the time, have you seen a brand where you have to replace the heads every 100,000km(thats ford for you) yes ford are nice to drive , better then holden but the ford and holden ar a s@#! build quality.
toyota sell themselvs
They even have a couple of models that are a bit plain.
God no Dingos back……………..
