Toyota has long been known for making affordable, practical cars. One of the most common ways this is measured is by their fuel efficiency. In fact, many analysts point to Toyota's history of fuel-efficient cars as one way this brand gained ground in America. During the fuel crisis of the 1970s, Toyota was able to offer something that most American-designed cars couldn't. This trend has continued all the way into the present, with the popularity of Toyota hybrids like the Prius.
