I see you're point. But as of late Toyota's quality has gone down, while GM's has gone up significantly. I won't say GM's cars are better than Toyota's, because they're not, but they don't suck (except for the Malibu). It's almost as if people won't even give them a chance anymore.
Latest quality/reliability results from JD Power and Consumer Reports:

Well, from that Chart, Toyota's best selling I4 Camry has only Average reliability. Lower than Sonata or Fusion triplets, or Mazda3. That car is their bread and butter in America, and they can't even get it right. The people who are paying more for the Camry because of "reliability" are just wasting money, and could be driving a much nicer looking, better handling, and more reliable Fusion for less money.
What?? Toyota is ranked first!!?!?
Additionally, have you read the reviews on the fusion? The fusion can't hold a candle to the Accord and Camry.
I generally prefer Toyotas for my mid-sized trucks (Tacoma's are amazing!!) as well as regular SUV's (4-Runner). I generally prefer Honda's for Cars (Civic, Accord...). Not to mention their luxury line (Lexus and Acura respectively) just make it even better.
I've driven a Mazda 3 and to be honest, while the car looks pretty nice, it still has nothing on the Civic. I don't even know how you can say that the Fusion or the Mazda 3 is way better than the Honda or Toyota equivalent.
This thread is full of people who are completely and utterly blind towards the flaws of our cars here in America. Fusion and Mazda 3 are a step in the right direction (As are Acadia etc...) but they have a long way to go with the Toyotas and Hondas continually being refined and improved.

You're full of crap if you think that the Mazda3 is in anyway inferior to the Civic in anything other than fuel economy and resale (slightly) compared to a Mazda 3s.

Same goes for the MazdaSpeed3 vs the Civic Si.
Its not even a comparison between the Mazda 3s and the Corolla.
