>align yourself with maga>sells go downWho would've thunk
>>29104797china is having across the board sales fall so that counts to all of them. but the biggest issue with toyota is that they have fuck all supply with immense demand. try getting a rav4 and you will end up at an make-shift aution at the toyota dealership
>>29104797I mean i love toyota but who tf buys new cars nowadays?? In this economy??
>>29104915What about the fall in US? Why are both the production and sales falling if there is immense demand?
>>29104797Europe and China are going all in on EVs and Toyota EVs are kinda lame.
>>29104797>Chinese sales downGood, fuck china
>>29104972Toyota needs to bring back NA V8 trucks for sales to recover from the shitshow that current V6 turbos have caused.
>>29105002no one in china that needs a car cant afford one, and the ones that can already got one. chinese buyers also tend to hold onto their cars for a fucking long time compared to other buyers in the world so it really fucks nay car producers when the next sale is basically market enforced $15,000 every 15 years minimum. German autos are the ones getting fucked thr most from this fact
