They're usually the most reliable cars in Toyota's entire lineup.

Is your backyard available? Just understand that ALL cars are gonna need to improve their mpg pretty soon in order to meet the new fuel economy mandates. The era of the gas guzzler is fast approaching. Only the rich will be able to offer them. For the record, Ferrari's and Lamborghini's get around 8mpg but that's not bad for a car with over 500hp.
