You are blinded as a car enthusiast. The sales of GR86 are meaningless compared to Toyota SUVs, crossovers and sedans. They sold about 2000ish in 2020, sales of hybrids alone were 330000. 55% is about let’s say 1200 cars. So really 1200 vs hundreds of thousands. Which is more important to that idiot auto exec?
