2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited Review

Over the past few weeks on auto123.com, there has been much talk about how Japanese products may be overrated and that consumers simply buy them because everyone else is. Because of this situation, it has been suggested that North American car makers have had to endure un-warranted sale declines, price slashing and profit losing simply to put their cars on the road. I find it odd that these comments were made by individuals, who have been around long enough to witness the absolute domination of the General Motors, Fords and Chryslers of this Continent up until the late 70s. Back then, the Asian Automakers were only beginning to show what they were made of and knew how large a hurdle conquering this market was going to be. The Big 3 chose to sit on their laurels as they firmly believed that they were untouchable and that those pesky little econoboxes were going to disappear.
