Toyota strictly dominates US cars and is more popular. Wall-Mart vs. K-Mart? Southwest Air vs. other Airlines? Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics?
I think this is a good heuristic, but not to be taken too seriously.
This may be true, but is there a popularity effect in place with regards to Toyota versus other car manufacturers? I ask because I honestly know next to nothing about cars. The only thing I can think of is that it might be easier to get a more popular car repaired, though I have no idea how true this is. Can someone more knowledgeable about the subject than I am weigh in?
