It's all about market demand, and when it comes to the US, sub-compacts just aren't doing it. It's depressing looking at Yaris sales the last several years. Almost so low that Toyota could justify pulling it from the US.
Meanwhile, full size trucks and the SUV/crossover market continues to explode. Americans pay some of the lowest prices in the world for gas. We have the widest roads. Cars are among the lowest priced here. Americans like to carry lots of stuff, and go on road trips. So it's only natural that it's tough to be a small car in America. |
