Sounds an awful lot like GM back when it was #1, doesn't it?
agreed. Toyo has alot of lots full of truck and SUVs just sitting there.

but unlike GM they do offer SMALL cars too (which are now soldout on all lots).

Toyo is now stuck with no inventory of small cars and alot of buge trucks. Toyo will just have to eat the SUVs/Trucks and ship over more of their small cars.

GM on the otherhand never bothered to design one single small car (since the Beat was never even considered for US sales (why they had us vote on it is beyond me) to compete.

once again GM fails to adapt.
