This is a great way to make your vehicles unsellable outside the US, smart thinking
Yeah, this combined with a projected 25% sales price increase in the US is genius. Vehicles will be hard to sell inside the US, too.
Not to mention increased oil prices making less efficient cars less appealing… man, i wish i could be paid to be a stupid executive.
Pathetic.
et tu, Toyota? my next car will be a crosstrek. I’m tired of these shitasses
Toyota has significant ownership of Subaru…
Toyota has pushed against efficiency standards for years because their cash cows are their trucks/SUVs with abysmal efficiency. Nothing new here.
i get it, but i have an unreliable car rn and I’m not doing that again. the best brands i know of are Toyota and Subaru, so i don’t really have much choice f i want longevity
Honda is reliable too. I get it, I have an older Outback and I’m trying to keep that thing going until EV prices come down more. Subaru will be adding hybrid crosstreks and foresters soon (Toyota tech). Get the most efficient and reliable car you can and don’t worry about it too much (except don’t buy a Tesla of course). Best thing we can do is advocate for walkable/bikeable/transit oriented development but I’m veering off topic so I’ll stop.
Toyota did have a large chuck of Subaru a few years ago but its much less now.
If the pendulum swings back, the news laws should just repeal the repeal. Leave old deadlines in place, even if past.
