Why Toyota Motor Corporation might be annoying:

    They build terrifying robots.
    Their first attempt at selling a car in America was awful (the Toyopet Crown). The car would rattle at speeds of 60.
    Their original name Toyoda means fertile rice paddies.
    They fought with Hitler in World War II.
    Their merger with two other banks to form UFJ Bank was a complete failure. The bank was accused of making loans to the Yakuza, among other things.
    They suspended sales of vehicles with accelerator pedals that became stuck (2010).
    They have never really created a iconic car like the Chevrolet Corvette or Ford Mustang.
    No one really knows what 'Lexus' is supposed to mean but LexisNexis threatened to sue over the name when it was first released to the public.
    Their pickup trucks were in heavy use in a war between Libya and Chad.

Why Toyota Motor Corporation might not be annoying:

    They were often on the receiving end of tariffs in their early years.
    They often build their vehicles in their host country rather than import.
    They are big on recycling.
    Their hybrids are generally acknowledged to be the best.
    They follow five principles: challenge, improvement, go and see, respect and teamwork.
    Their vehicles typically have great fuel economy.
