no doubt it is business. But would it really cause Toyota to require a bailout by spending a little more money to offer a stick? Instead they want to spend their money to build a hypercar that will probably become misunderstood like the LFA...yea makes business sense
I don't know. Probably not but their business does not revolve around one car either. They know what they are doing and all the armchair quarterbacking in the world won't change that. You said yourself that they are making money. This is the sort of thing that makes it look easy for them.
