Doesn't really come as a suprise to me. CEO's are reasonable men who have their focus on business. Just like in Stockholm where they had a survey that showed how executives preferred Volvo wagons, women preferred expensive & flashy cars and gay people liked SUV's.

Toyota: Sheer reliability and Inconspicuousness = Peace of mind and tranquillity of pottering about without showing off, which is handy because it means you will be almost "kidnap proof".

-Theo Paphitis is Britain's 343rd richest man and he has a BMW 760Li Individual, a Mercedes SL500, a Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible and a Toyota Land-Cruiser Amazon.

Re: Ceo's And Their Cars

Sounds like a realistic bunch of brands. I tell you if Toyota ever lost that quality/reliability slant they'd go out of business faster than a cat can groom himself. There is no other reason to buy one in this group.

Re: Ceo's And Their Cars

When they say Toyota, do they really mean and include Lexus in there?
If so, then what's weird about that?
I thought folks got over sniggering about the Japanese competing in the upper luxury market (about a week after the first Lexus was released)?
