Hopefully as supply increases their costs will come down a bit and they do a Japanese on a Japanese and they copy how Toyota achieves good reliability!

wow…I mean just, like,…WOW!

Readers Digest’s readers say that Toyota is the most trusted auto brand in Australia. I could have a field day with this. Where did you find that? On page 53, after the knitting patterns?

More than 60,000 people in 27 countries have anonymously voScoring 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).
ted Toyota as the world’s most respected company.please do not compare toyota’s vehicles with yours crap falcons and commos.they are in different class and league.dinosaurs are dinosaurs.JUST DO NOT COMPARE LEMONS AND AN APPLE.

chinese Driver – quite right, I’m not aware of any japanese made interiors that have the same quality and design of German marques, up market ones or not. Audi lead the way in interiors IMO.

I used to own an Accord Euro, it was a very very good car and I liked it very much. However after changing it to VW, I found in comparison, the Accord Euro feels more like a toy, rather than a machine.

But I have to say, the VW interior design is pretty boring.

Not a surprise, look at VW’s current car range, all great cars except the uninspired Beetles.

Not to bash Ford, but another one for the record – FORD, Fixed Or Repaired Daily.

As for VW, can only be a good thing really, at least they’re selling cars which is a good indication that the economy may just be starting to heal itself.
