...car manufacturer Toyota also builds hideous, bubbly cars...

Chrysler's second nearest bankruptcy came as a result of their designs in the late forties/early fifties. They did extensive surveys about what customers wanted. Looks was far down the list. Chrysler designed the boxy cars that people said they wanted and got laughed at for their efforts.

Maybe Toyota just builds cars that people will buy. Seems to work for them. Buyers like to think about "style" and performance but many buy on price and reliability.

Reliability is everything. I'll bet the #1 or #2 reason for every Toyota, Honda, Nissan sale is that they last.

thats exactly what i said

i said people buy cars that don't break

if you ask an average person which car they know if that does not break up

it will be toyota

thats why they are #1
