Even though I'm a Honda fanboy, I've always appreciated Toyota because they have donated to my schools K-12. Not saying Honda didn't either but IIRC Toyota does it big time.

Toyota is the preferred brand of ISIS!

Toyota manufactures Japan's only automotive V12 engine: it's been in the Toyota Century limousine since 1997. The 5.0L 1GZ-FE only puts out about 300hp though...

The Subaru Toyota relationship is not even remotely unique. A FRS/86 is still a Toyota regardless of who puts it together or what name is stamped on the parts.

Toyota is also holds the most shares in Fuji heavy industries aka Subaru. So it's a Toyota lol

Toyota also started out as a textile company. They still dive deep into those roots. Example. They own one of only two carbon fiber weaving machines. NASA owns the other one.
