Toyota says net profit jumps 10%

Great Vehicles. Somehow after 5 years of Ownership, you can sell it for like 70% of what you paid for it when new.

"unit sales were down in most regions, including Europe and Japan, while North America rose... The region has stood out for Japanese automakers, with rival Honda last week saying it was a bright spot that helped offset sluggish sales at home."

What's up with that?

you can sell it for like 70% of what you paid for it when new. thats beacuse they rarely break down, my mother a had a 15yr old Camry wagon almost 200,000km on the clock. in all that time she only ever had a leaky radiator hose $15 and a gear stick bush that stopped her shifting into 3rd, $5. naturally she had regular services etc but the car just didnt miss a beat for 15yrs, until somebody rear ended her in a accident and had to write the car off since the repair was more expensive than the car, she wanted badly to have it fixed regardless but the insurance company though otherwise, p**ks

Too bad for Toyota, to some people, the increasing car sales in N. America is a bad sign, heh

The only Toyota I would consider buying is a Land Cruiser. Never a hybrid.

Strip out all the rent-seeking subsidies for the hybrids.

Toyota make great running cars which look like vacuum cleaner to me.
