Deutsch...while Toyota is a good company, all the products they make are just bland. I don't think I've ever been in love with any toyota in the US besides the Supra. But even then the supra hasn't been that high on my list of Japanese Favourites. Even though Toyota sells more cars than Honda, the press has always praised the Honda more. I rarely ever seen a Toyota car rank higher than it's Honda counterpart in magazine tests. Case in point the Honda accord...for many many years now it has been getting more awards than almost any car out there. The only reason Honda doesn't get as much press as Toyota is because they aren't as big as Toyota and don't have as many models. But technologically, no japanese company can touch honda. Honda in involved in bikes, boats, cars, jets, electronics, technology (asimo robot), various different types of racing (f1, motogp, etc).

Example: This is from honda.com

"The Accord has been named to Car and Driver's "10Best" list—again. This marks the 21st time in the last 25 years that the Accord has won this prestigious award—more than any other vehicle in the award's history. The full lineup of Accord vehicles was honored by Car and Driver for always being at the top of the charts in fit and finish, ergonomics, road manners, reliability, and resale value."
