Am i the only one here that realizes these are the two companies with the highest recall counts in the world???????

Codename for the concept should be called "Total Recsll".

Some of you guys have your preferences for whatever reason, but toyota's are maintenece reliable, but safety wise are ticking time-bombs. Then BMW has more crucial parts replaced than any other car company. Fuel pumps, injectors, transmission parts, electrical components etc etc...

Let's not get into that whole "unintended acceleration" Toyota debacle. That seemed to be more user error than company issue. They just recalled the cars to save face and get our government off their ***. I remember seeing a chart of the affected people's ages. If you were under 55 you were an outlier.

BMWs are just crap as far as reliability goes. They're the German Mitsubishi.

There were quite a few seperate recalls for three years straight.. Unintended accel was just one. Before that three year stretch, there were quite a few more. The 2million car reca.l was a sequel event, there were more mass recalls for toyota. Toyota has issues. I'm not bashing them. It's just true. 2.5 years without a car smashing into a wall isn't enough time for me to give them props. Sorry.

When i say Toyota's are the most boring cars to drive on the road. I'm not bashing either. It's a subjective opinion that most modern day enthusiasts will agree. (Not counting the overrated FR-S) Another subjective opinion.

I just personally don't like sports cars with less than 270hp

I won't bash the BRZ/FT86. They built a nice little USDM 240sx. It would be the best $20k car on the road. At $25-$27k, not so much. They're selling the hell out of them though, and it will get other car makers to bring back light RWD cars instead of bloated FWD pigs. For that reason, I'm a fan. Other than that, Toyota builds transportation appliances that are fairly reliable. Nowhere close to their 1980s and 1990s peak, though. Those cars were indestructible.

Yeah, the FR-S topping out @ $26,000 BRZ @$27,000 I would have had no criticisms and all praise. But $30,000 for an FRS and almost 32,000 for a BRZ. Starting prices $3,500 off. So is the Z, but we have power behind our cars. So more logical for nissan to try it than toyota.

Completely laughable.
