I wonder why it took this long too, they clearly have made a better product for years but Toyota dropped the ball with the new Tacoma, its fucking huge. It's as big as their Tundra(full size) used to be. Oh well. :(

for a long time, Japanese car companies wouldn't compete wholesale with American car companies for fear that it would cause a huge backlash, ie. 'buy American.'

looks like those days are over...
