I love Toyotas.
Western automobile manufacturing, especially in Australia, was all about the sweet sweet government subsidies.
So the secret to great profits was to hire as few engineers as possible, but many designers, lobbyists and lawyers. The product's performance and efficiency was not important. (Important to the consumer maybe, but the customer was not the most important source of money.)
Toyota came in from outside and changed everything. I also own a (very old) Mercedes and a (quite new) Mazda, but I'm going to sell the Mazda and buy bitcoin instead.
