yeah i have to agree
toyota makes 1 good machine
im a mitsu/linde dealer and i work on alot of off brand stuff (ALOT of clark)
toyota do seem to last a long long time
japanese trucks are high quality products (mitsu's are built in houston texas) with better design with maintenance in mind than american trucks
nice of hyster to route the hyd/trans lines directly below the starter bolts on the gm engine (yeah fun times getting those out of the way)
**** trucks use bent pipe along the frame to clear obstructions (small extra up front cost to lower maint costs to the customer to encourage repeat sales)
clarks with the mitsu engine the starter take 3 times as long to get out as a mitsu with the same engine and starter setup just because of the poor location of the hyd valve and piping
(i can get 1 out and back in of the mitsu in 5 minutes (4g63 etc)

lindes are great machines too
i believe # 2 selling behind toyota worldwide

most who buy lindes dont go back to another brand even though they are much more expensive
