I see a lot of Toyotas traded in on other brands. I wonder why.

The highest brand loyalty in the auto market is Toyota. GM has the highest
manufacturer loyalty. The F series has the highest loyalty for a full-size
pick-up truck, but Toyota got it for the Compact Pickup.

Honda and Chyrsler had the highest loyalty for, well, nothing.

you don't really think the die-hards are going to listen to anything other
than Toyotas suck do you?

I said it before, and I'll say it again; if I wanted a large vehicle, I'd go
domestic - even Ford. It's the "economy" ones that bite big.
