Hey I always wonder....

 

The site always has the sales figure posts at the start/end of a new month for sales...but the other brands outside of American and European ones rarely get the click hits or number of comments.

 

....

People around these parts don't get too excited about anything Toyota

This. I can attest to the fact that the only reason I click on Toyota, Honda, Hyundai thread is a HOPE that they are going out of business, and the thread is about that. 

Yeah I usually give it a glance but I don't care as much about the euros and asian makes and their specific models like I do the US brands. I check the overall sales in the one big thread for most everything else. 

 

I do like to check on the Tacoma though. I wish I could justify buying one but there is really no good reason for me to own one.. 

 

Edit: The only reason I clicked this time was I saw Casa posted in a Toyota thread and I wanted to see what he had to say about them lol. I love his hatred for everything non-US.
