Toyota Hilux Sales Forecasts Plummet After News of Mid-East Peace

[Talyn]

In a shocking blow to the global pickup truck market, Toyota Motor Corporation announced that sales projections for its iconic Hilux have “fallen off a cliff” following reports of long-awaited peace breaking out in the Middle East.

“This is catastrophic,” lamented Abu Mahmoud, spokesman for the Free Sons of the Desert Martyrs Brigade (FSOTDMB). “We’ve spent decades relying on the Hilux. It can carry six fighters, a DShK, two RPGs, and a goat, all while surviving airstrikes. Now what are we supposed to do—buy American?”

yeah, poor babies....they might have to start buying "Ford Tough" now...........and what a disaster THAT will be....

I'd love to have a diesel 4x4 Hilux, but Toyota doesn't want to deal with the US diesel emissions laws. And putting on all that emissions crap ruins a good engine.

Anytime people would rather contribute to America's economy rather than the mass desire of people anxiously contributing to another country's, it's a good thing.

If you want to talk about disasters, let's talk about how anxious Americans were to finance China's military.

That would be awesome way to make sure they don’t get to where they are going. Just like when all the stimulus checks went out I jokingly said to my lgs “sell them Highpoints.”
There… I’ve kicked two anthills in one post.

You did notice that the OP link indicated it is sarcasm?

 

[last2brake]

It was pretty obvious to me.

It's not like they're buying and driving new trucks

I knew it was sarcasm, but diesel Toyota HiLux's do exist. They are not allowed to be imported into the US, but I still want one. They are a great pickup. I drove one on a job I did in Africa back in 1999-2000. I loved it.

I got the impression others didn't.

Women smell bull, sarcasm, and tom foolery in one wiff.

You probably gave us the side eye and a roll all in one motion








(You know I’m messing with ya…). Dont need another scorned woman after me

Shoot; guess they'll have to migrate to Nissan Patrols now.

On a serious note, in the Gulf War era and after, some Arab SF units used armored Hilux as their main vehicle. Heck, if offered here I'd get one armored or not.

It takes an awful lot to scorn me.

I'd estimate that 99.999% of us aren't as tough as you are.
