Toyota's decision here truly baffles me. It's one thing to use another company's motor and platform, but to launch a performance line with another company's motor and platform is ridiculous and makes them look like a joke. Just like TRD, no one will take GRMN seriously if they use another company's motor
It could be as simple as Toyota seeing an opportunity to increase revenue. 💡 Both brands, and the marketplace benefits. Win-win!
