It's easy to sell a reliable product when you aren't innovating. Toyota just puts out the same mediocre cars every generation with pretty well the same 4-cylinder and V6 engine designs dating back to the 90's. The Corolla is one of the worst compact cars you can buy but it's a perennial best seller in Canada because of nothing more than the myth of Toyota reliability. The Camry is more competent but it's at best just mediocre in that it's excels at absolutely nothing other than anonymous transportation for people that don't particularly like cars but want A to B transportation. RAV4 is also one of the more mediocre CUV's but they sell like hotcakes despite much better offerings from Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai. It took a while for GM to crumble but Toyota's day will come when building mediocre cars eventually catches up to them. Honda isn't far behind as well as the Civic is a far cry from the car it used to be where it was perennially the best compact car in the segment.
