The point here is, both these executives are putting out vague, forward-looking optimistic statements that are just fodder for media to speculate on.

To clarify, if there was concrete news, someone would have spilled the beans. They are saying nice things that they think but honestly don't have a lot of control over and aren't binding. It's important to remember that this forum is a hugely small and useless market share for Toyota. If they said "this platform wasn't profitable, we're going to drive them all off a bridge", their stock price would go up.

Shit, their stock price went up today when they recalled faulty brake cylinders, which is a potentially fatal safety issue. I highly doubt this is calculated fodder, I think it's just the executives saying things that they feel like saying.
