   You won't hear me tell you how great the Toyota's was. I have never   
   been impressed by them. Several years ago my Boss bought a Camry.   
   After hearing so much good stuff about Toyota's I was prepared to be   
   impressed when he drove to lunch. It was as dull a car as I think I   
   had ridden in in years and basically seemed no different in anyway   
   then any number of chevys and fords I'd been in. I know the couple of   
   imports I've had were not at all impressive as far as durability and   
   had nothing else special going for them either.
