泛泛地谈论啥车好、啥车坏没啥意义，买合适于自己用途的车子才比较重要吧？
有人（大多数）就把车当从A点载到B点的日常交通工具，需要的就是不需要多费心思的省心车；也有人把车当作炫耀身份的象征、昂贵的个人玩具、或其它目的，玩车族和上班族的选择自然是不同的
就拿下面那篇讨论丰田卡车的来说，也许买这车的人就是需要一台省心的轻型卡车，而美国三大品牌的卡车买家主要目的就是为了干重活的
至于美国牌子的卡车在美国卖得比外国牌子的多，是有其独特的历史原因的，不了解的去读读为什么从1960年代至今，外国卡车输入到美国需要多缴25%的税吧 （Search Chicken tax):

丰田 Hilux 牌子的卡车70年代退出了美国市场，但不妨碍它在全球持续卖了50年、1600万台，而且像 AK-47步枪一样被广泛用于军事用途
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]
