Strange how the same trend is observed in reliability and customer satisfaction surverys too.

But, where would these 2 automakers rank in the Aspirational ratings?

Pretty good I think. While everybody might want a Ferrari/Porsche/Lambo. Most aspire to buy a Honda/Acura or a Toyota/Lexus. Should probably add the other Japanese makers too. Evo's and Subaru's !!!

If wishes were cars, then beggars would drive. (plagiarism of "If wishes were horse, then beggars would ride") :-)

Thats new to me. Currently how many cars from these stables does not fail to bore the driving senses. (Count the Lexus IS series out)

Probably right, but how green or reliable are they in their aspirational versions?

The environmental effect is due to the engine sizes.most Toyota and Honda cars have a 2.5L to 3.5L engines and few or no diesels + they have hybrid vehicles, GM sell many high engine capacity trucks.Hence more emissions from the larger engines.Same with DiamlerChryshler(exluding Mercedes) with their Dodge and jeep brand.
