You obviously are unaware of the following from an article in 2005:
"-GM was ranked second in the critical Customer Service Satisfaction index in multi-line manufacturers last year. Where was Toyota? Fifth place.
-GM's lowest quality-rated vehicle is the Pontiac Vibe, assembled in California by - you guessed it - Toyota."
Here's the complete original article, but you need a subscription:

However, it is pasted in its entirety here:

This isn't just something that was someone's oppinion, I remember reading several articles to the same effect back then. I think it was JD Power that had the numbers, but this is what I could find. It's a bit unnecessarly harsh on Toyota, but it does highlight how bad the perception gap still is.
