They’d rather a diesel Cummings with razor bladed bullbars

We have to ask ourselves who makes up and relies on manufacturing that nonsense shoving down our necks what they want. Same nonsense that has taken over the European market, ala €21,000 Toyota AygoX €30,000 YarisX

It's one of many self contradicting failures 

Cue bullshit excuse from overpaid executives and analysts that "customers don't want small or cheap cars" that aren't the most profitable for them.

Let's be real, Toyota has zero interest in selling hybrids where they think they don't have to (regulations). Toyota was more than happy selling diesels here in Europe until VW let it slip

Toyota’s executive coldness to EVs or even plugin hybrids has been a major but unseen sore spot for too long. The hybrid drivetrain since 2004 has worked perfectly with DIYers and their plug in kits with Toyota only merely entertaining them and compliance car regulations. It’s a crying shame. Now they have a…

Nissan should’ve just made a split cargo door

It would be a crying shame if Nissan failed the bare minimum of offering to Cubes and Micras of an EV retrofitting, or even their punchy ePower drivetrain used in the Note.

They're the ones committing eco terrorism. Without a doubt and don't let anyone construe that
