Did shittytechnicals make it over to here, yet?
Doesn’t matter to Toyota one bit.
Their initial sale isn’t to the middle east or in any way driven by the middle eastern market and tends to be completely done on the merit of the vehicle.
The trucks in the middle east are almost all second hand to the level some people were horrified and surprised when the vehicle they sold in the US, still bearing their logos and name, showed up in videos of insurgents and straight up terrorists in the Middle East.
You’re forgetting all the free advertising when your cars show up in the news all the time /s
That does help the resale value though, which has a knock on effect to sales.
Well you never see new trucks, only ever like 90s Hiluxes. So really it’s Bob’s Used Cars who’s licking their lips
There’s a lot of 70 series cruisers, which look older than they are because Toyota has been making them for thirty years straight at this point.
