After Decades Of Following Is Toyota Ready To Lead The Industry To The Next Step?

Honda and Toyota stand out as the Japanese automobile industry’s strongest players. So when in 2008 Honda launched the FCX Clarity, the world’s first plausibly commercial fuel-cell car, people wondered why Toyota was nowhere in this exciting new technology.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. In November Toyota unveiled the Mirai, a much more sophisticated version of fuel-cell technology.

I have to agree. The rest of the automakers are doing everything they can to emulate Toyota and Honda products. Mid-size sedans are being tailored to behave more like the Camry and Accord, compacts are trying to emulate the Civic and Corolla (albeit with more style), etc.

Accord, Camry, Civic, Corola? What about vehicles that aren't appliances? Toyota can lead all they want with those type of vehicles. They are still following when it comes to vehicles that aren't appliances.
