Shhh, don't say this too loudly... ⚡⚡
Yup. The only Toyota models that did well are HEVs and PHEVs. Consumers want electrified vehicles. GM, Ford, Hyundai/KIA, Nissan - they all positioned themselves well with plenty of electrified vehicles capacity, while Toyota HEV and PHEV is capacity-constrained. Akio's "romance" with hydrogen is costing Toyota dearly.

These YOY comparison numbers are misleading because the comparison to 2022 reflects a year where the so-called supply chain issues produced less cars. The bottom line is that the US had 17M unit sales per year pre-COVID, and now might just make 14M. So the industry as a whole is down 3M units a year - and frankly much of this is by design, they want to produce less cars and sell them for ever higher prices and above sticker at dealers. They have already priced the middle class out of the new car market entirely, and some are just hanging on with $1K+ a month car payments, which is insanity. I know a person who pays $850 a month for a new Hyundai - madness.
Also remember that for electric cars, some of these "double digit gains" is the law of small numbers - it's easy to increase sales a big amount from a smaller baseline. For EVs, there is Tesla - and everybody else for the most part is on the outside looking in. And that's going to be magnified if they can deliver a Model2 for $25K-30K.

It's pretty clear that 1st quarter sales results are nothing short of disastrous for Toyota. Numbers are still pouring in, but most manufacturers are posting solid gains vs. 2022, some of them double digit. Except Toyota, with sales drop of nearly 10%.
(source: GCBC)
Toyota did well in 2022 because of supply chain issues that hit other manufactures harder. But now that supply chain issues have been mostly resolved, and consumers have more choices, it's clear that Toyota's lineup is outdated and uncompetitive. In 2022 people bought a lot of Toyotas simply because they had no other choice.
Highlander sales are down by 16%. Same with RAV. No surprise here, considering how poorly they compare vs. competition.
4Runner is down a whopping 40%. Somebody forgot to tell Toyota that event mighty dinosaurs become extinct when confronted with more nimble competitors.
Two local dealers in my area have nearly 200 Toyotas in inventory each. Some of their cars have been lingering on the lot for over 100 days. One is offering Camrys, Corollas and non-hybrid RAVs at 2 to 5% below MSRP. The other is offering these models at invoice price. Hybrids are still in short supply, but nobody wants Camrys, Corollas, and non-hybrid RAVs and Highlanders anymore.

If people are worried about how outdated their products are, just look at the GX460. Sales on that thing increased 15%.

I'm not sure how true that is. If I have to bet, it is because the dealers are greedy and mark everything up. Stealers are asking for a 10 to 20 percent markup across the model line. We've been waiting to get a Sienna at MSRP for over a year and they sell them as soon as they get it in. So to me Toyota didnt forecast demand and supply of components properly and couldnt meet the demand. Or maybe Toyota decided they are much more profitable if they just restrict supply and not have to provide incentives to move excess inventory.

As for the GX, it accounts for only around 1.4% of volume. It could have increased or decreased by 50%, and it wouldn’t have moved the needle much in either direction.
toyotas’s issue is the really performance of some of their key products, not the ones on the periphery.

Toyota shows sales number for "RX hybrid." Does this number include both the 350h and 500h models?
04-08-23, 06:59 AM
#29
Probably yes. The two RX hybrids are 27% of total RX production. Lexus vastly underestimated demand for the 350h, unless they aren't making more of them because they are running out of components.

I don’t think it’s ADM. That’s not unique to Toyota dealers. I think it’s more likely product mix and uncompetitiveness in some key segments.

2500 units of the GX is about 9% of overall Lexus sales for the month.
