Not to bash Japanese cars, they're far better than some others, but they wear out also and get really expensive when they do.

Toyota is super unhelpful and has very high prices on parts/service, higher than MB! Also, their vehicles are no where near as pleasant to work on. Cramped and not DIY friendly.....then there's that safety of the car in general issue too. I'd never want to be in a bad accident in a CRV or Rav4! 
They are low maintenance until they reach a "worn out" point. Then its throw away time, they're way too hard/expensive to try to keep going.
