泛泛地談論啥車好、啥車壞沒啥意義，買合適於自己用途的車子才比較重要吧？
有人（大多數）就把車當從A點載到B點的日常交通工具，需要的就是不需要多費心思的省心車；也有人把車當作炫耀身份的象征、昂貴的個人玩具、或其它目的，玩車族和上班族的選擇自然是不同的
就拿下麵那篇討論豐田卡車的來說，也許買這車的人就是需要一台省心的輕型卡車，而美國三大品牌的卡車買家主要目的就是為了幹重活的
至於美國牌子的卡車在美國賣得比外國牌子的多，是有其獨特的曆史原因的，不了解的去讀讀為什麽從1960年代至今，外國卡車輸入到美國需要多繳25%的稅吧 （Search Chicken tax):

豐田 Hilux 牌子的卡車70年代退出了美國市場，但不妨礙它在全球持續賣了50年、1600萬台，而且像 AK-47步槍一樣被廣泛用於軍事用途
The Hilux has gained a reputation for exceptional sturdiness and reliability during sustained heavy use or even abuse, and has been referred to as "The Indestructible Truck"[citation needed]. This was further reinforced on theBBC motoring show Top Gear, when a 1988 diesel N50 Hilux with 305,775 km (190,000 mi) on the odometer and large rust holes was subjected to extraordinary abuse (in series 3, episodes 5 and 6). This consisted of driving it down a flight of steps, scraping buildings, crashing headlong into a tree, being washed out to sea, and being submerged in sea water for four hours, driving it through a garden shed, dropping a caravan onto it, hitting it with awrecking ball, setting its cabin and bed area on fire,[32] and, finally, placing it on top of a 73 m (240 ft) block ofapartments that was next destroyed by a building implosion.[33] Although it was now suffering from severe structural damage, the truck was still running after being repaired without spare parts, and with only typical tools that would be found in a truck's toolbox, such as screwdrivers, motor oil, and an adjustable wrench.[34] The Hilux rested as one of the background decorations in the Top Gear studio.
Due to its durability and reliability, the Toyota Hilux, along with the larger Toyota Land Cruiser, has become popular among militant groups in war-torn regions. According to terrorism analyst Andrew Exum, the Hilux is "the vehicular equivalent of the AK-47. It’s ubiquitous to insurgent warfare."[35] U.S. counter-terror officials have inquired with Toyota how the Salafi jihadist extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has apparently acquired large numbers of Toyota Hiluxes and Land Cruisers. Mark Wallace, the CEO of the Counter Extremism Project said, "Regrettably, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux have effectively become almost part of the ISIS brand."[36]
The 1980s Toyota War between Libya and Chad was so named because of the heavy use of Hilux trucks as light cavalry vehicles.[35]
