beyond priuses (prii?), its basically every toyota. No brand has the kind of blinders-on do-no-wrong fanatical loyalty of toyota. They run around proclaiming their 4Runner a masterful offroad machine, they honestly seem to believe that driving a prius will bring back the DoDo bird, and if anything goes wrong its forgiven because, hey, its a toyota, so its still better than everything else.
Part of 'yotas rep for quality probably relates to their drivers having a higher tolerance for propblems than other brands, maybe due to the toyota fanaticism. "Darn engine fell out. Thank god its a toyota or it could have been worse! gotta love 'yota quality"
When history writes the book on Toyota, they won't be remembered for quality or hybrids or how big they got. They'll be remembered as the most successful marketing company ever. The 150 billion dollar company who sold themselves to environmentalists as "we're the only people really trying to help the world".
