Default It's because

Toyota is big and has good reputation. With only one mistake it will be mentioned all the time.
Anyway, the problem Toyota/honda has is a few within decades.
Problem with Germany car is every single day with every single car.
But I still ever owned one and keep complaining about it

Default Temper temper. Yeah I thought you were referring to this one.

Which I have already spoken about. While I do not doubt they had a problem, they did not play by the established rules or report it in any fair manner. I said you have been embellishing the truth. There is no mention about "pregnant" in this thread let alone post.
Fail!
You made the sweeping statements against the Q7 so I think its fair to challenge you, particularily as I have been here (AW) and read virtually every Q7 post since the car was introduced and do not believe you are putting a reasonable case.
I still defy you to back up any of your other statements.
It takes place here as you chose to attempt to blight the Q5 with your unwarranted remarks.

Default No, either You ARE telling lies or you are just reading what you want into posts

You can get as cross as you like it doesnt make you right. The only <big>partial</big> truth in your original post is the fact that "several owners" cars had run out of power. I answered that with facts as recorded by them in their subsequent findings.
Your tantrums are rediculous. Do you seriously think anyone will take your raving opinionated misquotes from random forum trawling over the facts?

Default That isn't quite true Consumer Reports does include sportiness

in their equations but it is just another factor in the whole equation. Ride, handling and accessible buttons and bins may be weighted equally but all other thing being equal Consumers does rank sportier cars higher...they consider driving pleasure an asset. It depends on what they are testing too, they aren't going to talk about the fact that a Honda Odyssey is more fun to drive than than a Toyota Sienna at least not explicitly. On a sports car they will discuss the fun to drive factor.
