   It seems to me if other manufacturers have to compare themselves to the   
   Toyota Tundra then they are running scared.  It's the same with the   
   Camry; you always see commercials from Ford/GM/Chrysler/Hyundai/etc.   
   comparing themselves to the Camry.  I guess when you're the market   
   leader others are trying to emulate you.
