Just make sure that you get the 22R/RE.  Because Toyota's 3.0l V6 is a huge
POS. They are every bit as bad as a waterboxer.  They have the blown
headgasket syndrome as well rod through the case syndrome.  Big boo.

It used to be that Japanese cars were more reliable. Compare a '75 Accord to
a '75 Chevy Caprice. But having owned several late model Japanese cars as
well as several late model German cars I don't believe that is the case
anymore. The reliabilty difference is negligible, and in my experience
favors the Germans.  The Japanese ultra reliability myth persists because if
a Camry isn't more reliable than a Passat, then the Camry is just a
personality free car with crappy seats.

Cheers,

Cory
