I have a Toyota Tundra, my wife has a Toyota Avalon, I have 2 daughters with Toyots Avalons, My son has a Camry and a Toyota SIenna. I had 4 other Toyotas before. I cannot say enough about them as cars. 100,000 miles and they are still good as new. I live in Georgia,and Japanese cars easily outnumber others it seems to me. Maybe in Detroit it isn't a good idea, but basically they are more than accepted in US
