This thread is getting toxic and a bit mean. What's next, "My God is better than your God"... which is oddly similar to this thread...I'm out.

My common sense is from reality.
Doesn't matter how many cold, hard facts we give you, you think Toyoduh's already recovered and GM has ceased to exist.
PS - My degree isn't from the internet site you love to quote so much

I think Toyota spends more money than GM, Ford,or Chrysler when they build a car. I think everyone who has ever sat in both cars believes this. I also believe Chrysler would have sold a E36M3load more Neons if they had spent more money on head gaskets, pistons, primer and interior fitments.
It will take a very long time for me to forgive GM for the Citation-Celebrity-Lumina-etc train of boredom with bad carbs progressing to bad manifold gaskets to the next thing they won't fix for a decade. (Replace gm with Ford/escort-Tempo, or Chrysler /Omni-Reliant)
Toyota got on the boring car track a very long time ago, with a very few notable exception. You know what they are.
Toyotas are no more or less reliable, to within a few percentage points, than any other modern car.
If people were required to learn how the Berkeley to drive, this would be a non issue. Toyota sales are up in Canada, someone said. Do you suppose this has anything to do with us dealing with frozen throttles since the day we get our drivers licences?
I'm gonna drive cars and trucks built in the 90's until I die, or they all dissapear. Modern enough to be injected and reliable, old enough to not have anything more irritating than a talking dashboard.
One last point- I will NEVER drive a vehicle that cannot have the automatic locking door feature disabled. That rules out about a decades worth of GMs.

Not unless you identify yourself with that group of people.

Compared with the owners of other vehicles, the Toyota owners agreed more strongly that:
– Toyota appropriately handled issues with the brake-pedal recall.
– This incident is an outlier.
– Toyota typically has a strong reputation for quality.
– The recall shows Toyota’s commitment to customer safety.
When Toyota owners were asked to rate on a 0-to-10 scale whether they would consider a Toyota if they were to buy another vehicle, their ratings average an 8, compared with average ratings of 4 from owners of 26 other brands. The authors concluded that consistent and high customer satisfaction levels in the past “insulate the brand, even if it falters.”
