Toyota’s goal to muscle its way into the position of #1 carmaker in the world will not be hard to stop. Look at GM. Their quality is diminishing, but they’re still the top dog, so China has a long battle ahead of them. But they have proven they’re capable in the past, and at the very least, they will find their way onto the J.D. Power & Associates list.

the prices they pay for the parts they use to build the cars are probably much cheaper in china or korea, the prices they sell the vehicles are a bargain for anyone who is intrested in buying a new car.
the standards for the japanese cars and american cars i think are working on the upades for the demand for safety and thier car to be more useful for the average person.
