That's a very big money Toyota makes man, bigger than most of the fortune 500 companies. After seeing this I am more curious to know how much $ Toyota makes from UAE only.....? Even the guestimate is fine......!
Apart from research and going local, Toyota is also a good car brand because they take care of their customers and emerge as a brand with a human value behind it and not just a brick wall. Toyota is the only brand I hear all the time doing millions and millions of recall car everywhere in every country. This shows that they realize their mistake and offer free replacement to its customer showing they are more honest car brand than many others. Have you ever heard Mazda, Peugeot, Porsche, BMW, Cadillac recalling their cars ever as much as Toyota recalls their cars....?
Second best thing at least in the UAE about Toyota is their service, they have made this servicing so easy and fast that once you use Toyota in the UAE, you will hate rest of all car brand service center. In less than an hour you can get the minor service from Toyota dealer in the UAE. Many other snobbish car brand ask at least 2 days for leaving the car behind for one bloody oil change service. Toyota definitely has paved their way to this bigger number of profits with proper thinking and implementation.
Having said, all of the above I still feel Toyota cars in the UAE are overpriced by at least 25%.
