As it turns out spending decades building high quality, reliable, reasonably priced cars is a good combination for sales.

Not abandoning small cars has given Toyota dibs on a whole lot of customers who are now interested in something larger and more expensive.

I love Toyota but toyota dealership salesmen are the worst
I wish we could just buy directly

[Sam-wgge]

I'm noticing that people are gravitating to smaller vehicles since the price of midsize vehicles are outrageous these days. Example Corolla and Civic....enough said.

Toyota is proof that having a variety of all car body styles is the key

I wonder how many more Toyotas would be sold if dealers stopped adding $4000-$10, 000 on top of the MSRP?

I was weighing getting a Camry or Highlander and the dealership experience in Vegas SUCKS. So I decided not to do business with them ever again.
Went to Mazda and got a CX 50. Since Toyota Motor Credit underwrites Mazda loans, my previous loan history helped a lot and we got a 3.9% rate along with $4k off MSRP

In the past, Toyota emphasized that the EV era would begin in the late 2020s or early 2030s, but it grew gradually. Toyota took over ten years to debut the Hybrid Prius and 20 years to develop the Fuel Cell Mirai. And they're still developing safe, all-weather, dependable battery with a long driving range. Toyota executives repeatedly said, let's listen to what consumers need, want, and desire. Let them decide what type of vehicles they want to invest in. Toyota is traditionally well-known among consumers in Japan for "Toyota sale." & "They're conservative but sell well."

Toyota hybrids absolutely smashed it in Australia in April. Toyota are over 20% of the entire market and Toyota hybrids are now 50% of all Toyota's sales so that's a huge win for their hybrid system.

Toyota cares about their customers, factory workers, and the entire auto industry unlike some EV tech company.

That Accord redesign is a dud. I can’t get over how much better the last gen looks. Instead they got super conservative and built an unrecognizable blob. The new Accord design is worse than the Model 3 design and I don’t like the Model 3 design (though the Highland refresh is a little better). It just looks like a total NPC car.

[nordlandak]

Wait according to Tesla nerds Toyota going bankrupt. 😂😂😂

Saving up this year for my V8 lexus before it gets killed

[NathanielCasas-kyzn]

I think the people who were gunna buy a new accord seen the Camry and said yeah no I’ll pass on accord hello Camry 😂

Solid numbers from the Japanese brands. Some models better than others.

With Elon imploding Tesla, hybrids are the way forward.

[vedranbozicevic]

According to some...I though they are on the verge of bankcruptcy, really strange. Numbers are confusing!

[GrammarHero]

I can proudly say that my April purchase of a Toyota Corolla SE hatchback contributed to Toyota's numbers. I was going to buy a LE, but the dealer couldn't keep them on the lot!

[John-kxng]

Does anyone know sales figures for the Corolla Cross? I never see too many if them and curious to how they sell? Thankyou

"What if we just made what the customers say they want?"

Toyota and BMW: Worth a shot, let's do it.

Every other car company: Nah, that'll never work.
