Why did TOYOTA make the tacoma BIGGER?
Why did TOYOTA make the 2008 TUNDRA MUCH BIGGER?
Why is TOYOTA still building the SEQUIOA?
Why did NISSAN build the TITAN?
Why did NISSAN increase the size of their SUV's?
Why did Honda build the RIDGELINE?
SIMPLE: THOSE ARE THE VEHICLES THAT WE, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, WANTED TO BUY BEFORE GAS WAS $3 PER GALLON! It's not GM, ford and Dodge's fault gas went out of control. If fuel prices hadn't surged when it did, that toyota lot you speak of would be full of fuel efficient cars and empty of trucks and SUV's. The "big 3" made the unfortunate mistake of building NOTHING but what the AMERICAN PEOPLE WANTED. If you don't believe me what has been the best selling vehicle in America for like 10 years or so? The F-150! Number 2? The Silverado!
You can't turn around 3 of the largest companies in the world in 1 year and a half.
Toyota recent sales success can be greatly attributed to the high cost of fuel.
