Toyota has regained its position as the world's most valuable auto brand leaving behind BMW brand, according to the BrandZ Top 100 report. Despite Japanese automaker Toyota’s millions of recalls over the past year, it has managed not to lose its consumers trust but to strengthen its positions on the world arena.
