I first saw this Car and Driver review a few years ago right after I purchased my 2012 Yaris. That is when I learned most every review was, at best, indifferent to the Yaris. Of all the stuff this guy said in his review the thing that irritated me the most was his quip "Since many Toyota buyers operate with tunnel vision regarding brands, the 2012 Yaris will most likely sell at least as well as the outgoing model" Well gee there Earl, you think that "tunnel vision" is due to the fact Toyota makes reliable, care free cars that last forever while Detroit and other makers throw crap out for so many years?

I understand there are homers with any make of car that will stick with their car brand come hell or high water. But the Big Three lost many a once loyal customer to Toyota years ago because of the "LTDs" they purchased back in the mid 70s up thru the 90s. I will never own a GM or Mopar product ever again simply because of the Govt bailout. The only car Ford makes that I like is the Mustang and I do own one of those. I will always have a Toyota as long as they keep making reliable cars they way they have been.

Any thoughts?
