I’ll be the first to say that the name “Toyota” and word “quality” seem to go hand in hand.
Just read any review or survey and you see that their owners agree whole heartily.
While Toyota has steadily risen to the top over the lasting, you can make a good argument that some of the magic may have been lost with several issues along the way. No doubt this has occurred to many of the brands out there over the years.
Simply look to BMW and Mercedes Benz. After meteoric rises they soon became notorious for their issues in the 90’s. However, it can be argued that they have now shed this dogma surrounding them, and the cars produced now are far better examples than then. These brands may be back on the rise.
Toyota has followed a similar path adding diversity and complexity to their product lineup through out the late 90’s and into the current generation. Are the recent issues a by product of this, or are they simply growing pains? I am sure no one outside Toyota knows for sure.
So looking at the market, give us your best shot at who is on the rise and who may be on the fall and why?
