TRD Toyota race is run!
David Buttner, senior executive director Toyota Australia, blamed the global economic crisis, saying that Toyota will concentrate on their core products. Less than 600 TRD Aurions have been delivered and less than 400 of the TRD HiLux variant. "Toyota made a significant financial commitment to TRD vehicle conversion and clearly understood short-term profitability was unlikely," Mr Buttner said. However, the perspective has changed for business globally and those new rules require tough decisions for the greater good. "This is one of those decisions". All TRD owners would be covered by Toyota's new vehicle warranty and the company would guarantee the continuing supply of parts to meet its legal obligations.
