despite being identical aside from aesthetics

Not sure if they do that here. Never considered buying one so i havent looked

If they do, them alright

Toyota still needs to do something if they want to sell theirs tho

toyota don't seem interested in selling them honestly

And if subaru is gonna do tit for tat, they shouldnt use the same strategy. In part because it would encroach on the wrx

True

I dont think toyota is interested in selling anything that isnt a commuter box these days

and the... "supra"

The 86, the supra.

Neither of which they design or build.

The FJ Cruiser was halfhearted af and has no successor

Fuck

Got my companies mixed up lol

Yeah the toyota civic is shit mang

toyota are throwing huge money at the mirai

which...

Niche at best

I guess I prefer to them throwing huge money at lithium cars

Its interesting, but really a dead end fir the near future

toyota seem to be operating the theory that regulation will kill ICE due to emissions

Japanese companies in general seem to have lost their way

and that batteries wont have the storage capacity

Which to me seems like an inability to understand economics

I dunno, I wouldn't bet against them

Even ford is basing their electric program

On the markets

If I were throwing investment elsewhere than pharmaceuticals I'd be pushing money into companies dealing with hydrogen extraction, storage and transport

Its a bet

A safe bet? I dont think so

But who knows

nothing is safe but

I can kinda see that some company with enough investment might shove a huge solar array in some shithole country with lots of sun

and then push that energy straight into bottling hydrogen

which then gets shipped

Maybe. That would have other issues

of course

mainly that

But whatever. I think we are drifting from cars

shipping the hydrogen is gonna be done by diesel

lol
