If he's using their logos without permission they have a case, at least as far as trademark goes, but the copyright issue is preposterous unless Toyota owns the images being used (and sounds like they're claiming to own at least some of them). It's a stupid claim since it's just free advertising for Toyota and doesn't compete with them in any way, but I can't say I have any real sympathy for the guy. "Don't violate copyrights that don't belong to you" isn't exactly a difficult principle to adhere to. If the guy isn't using photos he doesn't have permission to use then he should tell Toyota to stuff it. If he is, then he was asking for it.
