Toyota has hybrids, great small cars, a fantastic midsize reputation.

One line at TMMI (Princeton, Indiana plant) and TMMTX (San Antonio, Texas plant) is engineered to produce body on frame trucks and is not flexible to build unibody cars. Also, Toyota is building a new plant in Mississippi when it is not fully utilizing its existing plants.
Also, using "great" to describe Toyota's small cars is an over statement. I would not call the "all new Corolla" great. Maybe competitive, but not "great."
