Same. I’m a resident of Japan. The interests of carmakers have shaped national industrial and environmental policy here in ways that ensure we - and our kids - will be living with the byproducts of hydrocarbon combustion in our cities and homes for a long time yet - decades probably. Could not be more disgusted, would never buy one of their products. Their cancerous influence on US environmental policy is also well-documented.
The silver lining is that refusing to cannibalize their own product lines will cost them big - and soon. I suspect they’ll end up as a case study for MBAs.
“Toyota” for me is a byword for venality, cynical anti-social exploitation, regulatory capture and gerontocracy.
