Toyota Or Honda ?

Honda for looks, Toyota for practicality.

Between two Japanese manufacturers

 

 

Toyota's global vehicle sales, according to the number released Thursday, were down 2 percent from a year earlier, as vehicle sales in Japan lagged. Volkswagen's sales were up 1.8 percent year-on-year, while GM's were up 1.9 percent.

The race among the three automakers is intense, playing out worldwide, including relatively new markets such as India and China, although each of them emphasize that the real competition is about coming out with good products, not beating rivals.

Toyota, which makes the Prius hybrid, Camry sedan and Lexus luxury models, has had its ups and downs, such as a recall fiasco that began in 2009, as well as the 2011 tsunami and quake disaster in northeastern Japan that hobbled its parts-supply chain and factory production.

Toyota President Akio Toyoda, the grandson of the company's founder, put ambitions for aggressive growth on hold for some years after the recall scandal, which resulted in millions of vehicles being recalled, mostly in the U.S., for an array of defects.

But he recently said Toyota is ready to start growing again, although cautiously and gradually, focusing on shared parts across a variety of models that will allow the automaker to cut costs while honing in on quality control.

GM is embroiled in a defect problem of its own since last year, over problem ignition switches.

The Detroit-based automaker, which includes Chevrolet, Opel, Buick and Cadillac as its brands, was the top-selling automaker for more than seven decades until being surpassed by Toyota in 2008.

Volkswagen, which has Audi and Bugatti under its wing, has come from behind with fantastic speed in recent years, including key markets such as China where potential for growth remains great.

In 2014, Toyota became the first auto maker in the industry's history to sell more than 10 million vehicles around the world in a year.

Question about Toyota Vios, talaga bang matigas manibela niya o nasanay lang ako sa SUV? And pag off mo ng engine may matagal mawala na parang dipping sound sa ilalim (pag sinilip mo naman wala naman tumutulo).

Honda, because I used to own one

 

Lol, that aside, I like the way Honda cars look than Toyotas (except for the Odyssey, not a fan of that nose). Also, I've seen a lot of Toyotas that get wrecked beyond recognition. Also some bad publicity there, but hey, maybe I'm just biased.

 

I like the FJ Cruiser though so I might rethink my opinions on this one

Have both. Pareho Lang sa quality. Mas mahal lang parts NG honda, Pero Konti Lang. Hwag Lang parts para sa major repair, definitely Toyota has the edge. Mas mura.
