it has the Tundra and the Sequoia. But those are only intro to full size truck and SUV. Tundra competes w/ the F150. What about F250, F350, etc. Also, SUV, there's also SUV that's much bigger than the Sequoia.

Full size truck and SUV is just an example, Toyota has nothing to compete with the RSX or performance hatch like the Si and the SVT Focus. They also don't have performance compact Sedan like the Mazdaspeed protoge and the SE-R SpecV. They don't have a rally car to compete with the WRX either. Their luxury line is also not as full as say BMW and Benz either. Get my point? :dunno:
The Seqooia is big enough already. People who buy F-250's wont buy a Toyota.

Toyota has the Celica GT-S. And the Corolla is supposed to get a high powered version, or so a rumor said. Rally cars have just hit the USA, and their a niche market. Honda still needs to expand to core markets, such as trucks. Also, the Lexus lineup consist fo 5 cars and 3(GX470 is going to be out very soon) SUV's. BMW has 4 car lines and one SUV. But if you count all the variations, and M version, and the Z8, then your right. But what I'm trying to say is Lexus is on par with MB or BMW with 95% of people, as far as brand name goes at least.
