There isn't, they only build people movers that's it. There is no longer any fun exciting car built by toyota. Do they even make the Celica anymore forget the dead and buried Supra (which was a great car in it's own right).
Well, I'll give ya that. Their cars are some of the most boring made. However they do offer an intercooled supercharger with proper factory ECU tune and flash to go with it for their V6 Tacoma taking it to about 400HP. To me that's pretty cool, while retaining all factory warranty and only costing about $4K dealer installed.

I had two Tacomas (1997 and 1999 4x4s) and never had a single problem with either. The 1997 was HEAVILY modified for off road and used as such to boot. However, like someone else said, the 2002 4Runner I have now is the latest model Toyota I've owned. I've seen some rumblings on the 4Runner forums about problems with the frame on Tacos as well as something about throttle issues too. However in both cases Toyota extended the warranties years beyond standard with unlimited mileage and fixes them for free.

If we're gonna bash any manufacturer let's throw out all the facts rather than just the ones that support our side of the argument.
