You may not recognize it by the humble output of their manufacturing engine, but Toyota is recognized as one of the greatest manufacturers (of anything) of all time.

Toyota regularly achieves the lowest defect rate in the various industries in which they compete.
Yes, they are the polar opposite of BMW in terms of their automotive design philosophy, but they could learn a lot from each other. Imagine a car with the driving character of a BMW and defect-rate of a Toyota. I would certainly welcome more reliability.

Toyota makes the best cars in the world for people who think cars are just to get you from A to B. They make transportation.
BMW is the other extreme, they are for people who enjoy the drive more than arriving.
So I understand where he is coming from
