Editor's note: Japanese corporate culture is famously exacting, demanding long hours, deep loyalty, and quality levels that have led to something known as karoshi: death by overwork. One obvious result of all these noses to the grindstone is a car you can drive for 20 years with minimal maintenance, high mileage, and total confidence. And certain models are wildly popular; any big Texas parking lot could be mistaken for a Toyota dealership because so many people drive the Tacoma or Tundra pickup. Say a little thank you to Japan and get your Toyota wallpaper!
