While I'm not a person to support an attitude of 'this make is better than that make, just because' (if the person is actually being serious about said comment), its warming to see a bit of Toyota pride still swarming around.
And gee, wouldn't you know it, its on a site ABOUT a future toyota! Wonder why that is?
Similar philosophies? Peh I say! Honda had 1, count it 1 production car that was driven by the rear wheels, and it wasn't a car obtainable by joe-normal-public. At one point during the same time frame (early 90's), Toyota had their affordable sports car in the MR2, the AWD turbo beast in the Celica GT-4 (all-trac), and their high-end flagship sports car in the Supra, which was still half the price of the NSX, and all weren't carrying the bland feel of an FF.
You don't go into the 90's, against the FF swarm, with 3 such cars in your sport lineup and follow a similar 'philosophy' that Honda had. Toyota built their legacy on RWD sports (At one time having 4 Rear driven sport vehicles) and they carried that well into 90's.
Now, on their normal econo lineup? Sure, it was pretty much the exact same philosophy. Both make very reliable cars.
