Default Best Toyota products of all time?

1) FJ80 land cruiser - Definitive off road vehicle for the entire world. You find them on every continent in every condition at any time and in the worst possible places. With lockers completely unstoppable, without lockers nearly unstoppable, reliability off the charts.

2) MKIV Supra - The space ship. 13 years on it looks better than anything on the road almost. Futuristic design, incredibly strong powertrain, incredibly tunable, powerful as hell in TT stock form.

3) MKII MR2 - The mini Ferrari. 20 years on, still looks incredible. Fast as hell, maneuverable, very tunable, very sexy, very reliable. Way ahead of it's time.

4) FJ60 Land cruiser - A more unrefined version of it's older brother the 80. Just as incredibly capable, although slightly less refined and reliable. Available in 5 speed.

5) LS460 - Arguably the best luxury sedan ever produced. Reliable as hell, luxurious as you could ever want, powerful, stable, comfortable, etc.

6) SC300/400 - like we don't know all the positive attributes here. Manual KO1 Auto though.

Right off the bat I disagree with your list....We've got several customers at my shop with FJ80's who send them to us on rollbacks on a reg basis...lol...of course anything old with a carb is gonna be low on the reliability scale....And I'll pick a Toyota Camry over any SC as far as reliability goes...

Corolla is the best selling car of all time, yet it didn't make the top 5?

I agree with the 80 series landcruiser. World beater in the toughest conditions. Especially great with the locking front & rear diff option. Would be even better in north america if we could have the turbo diesel model.

Really happy for you, and I'mm'a let you finish, but the TOYOTA COROLLA is the best selling car of all time. OF ALL TIME

Hmmmmmm... in no order and was going to use a loophole for Lexus but will focus on Toyotas....

1. 2000 GT. The first Japanese Exotic and featured in a James Bond movie. Now fetching multiple 6 figures.

2. 1992-1996 Camry. One of the best built cars ever. Established the Camry as the new Family sedan.

3. Toyota Prius. The hybrid. Made hybrid credible and accepted by people.

4. 1994 or so LandCruiser. Just an incredible off roader. Only vehicle to drive on the North and South poles.

7. MKIV Supra. At the time in 1993 Supercar performance for 40 grand. Lets not even get started on turbos.

8. Toyota Corolla. Vanilla, bland, over 25 million sold. nuff said

9. FT-86. Drift fame.

10. Celica 4 All Trac turbo. AWD, turbos, bold styling, overpriced

Having owned one and loved it but I don't think the SC3/4 belongs up there. The LFA earns a spot on that list for the sheer fact that it is their (and Japan's) very first production supercar/exotic.
