Toyota’s application to join the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA) was rejected last Thursday, report various media, though neither the ACEA nor the company has issued a formal statement on the matter.

Toyota reportedly hoped to influence the ACEA's lobbying on tariffs; its membership of European and US-owned car and truck makers supports maintaining a 10% EU import duty on built up cars, including Toyota’s EU imports, until other countries drop their own tariff barriers.

Toyota had presented itself as a thoroughly European manufacturer,

with its R&D activities and assembly plants in the UK, France and its JV with PSA in the Czech Republic employing some 20,000 people.

First they want to be as American as Ford and GM and know want to be as European as Volkswagon and Renault

What I think is hilarious is that they want to access everybody else's car markets while they refuse to open their own.

They just want to save money. For a buisness standpoint you cannot blame them for trying.

I don't blame Toyota for trying, afterall, they are in buisness to make money. People who buy into whatever image Toyota creates, are the fools.
