It is something I've heard quite a lot of: Toyota is a one trick pony. And if that pony's lame ...
Scion & Lexus have some style, but not in all models, I guess the 4Runner passes ok but otherwise it they are appliances. GM is not perfect, but with interior and exterior styling jumping ahead in leaps and bounds, it gets harder and harder to not at least stop by and check out the vehicles.

When i moved to the USA in the late 90s, other than the Corvette, there was nothing on the market that would make me want to walk into a Chevy dealership.
