Like, Still the Top Automaker in 2025, Duh
Okay, so like, Toyota totally slayed it again in 2025. We're still the top-selling automaker, which is, like, no surprise, right? 10.5 million units sold. That's a lot of cars, even for someone who has a car for every day of the week… or every hour, depending on my mood. It's all about, like, knowing your worth, and apparently, everyone thinks Toyota is worth it. Good for them, honestly.
US Hybrid Love? I'm Here for It
Turns out, America's been all about the Prius and RAV4 hybrids. And, like, I get it. They're, like, environmentally conscious but also, like, totally stylish. I'm all about a lewk that saves the planet, you know? Plus, those gas prices? No, thank you. We're all about saving coins to buy the latest lip kit instead, and you can read more about Ahoy Rate Hikes India Sails Steady Amidst Trade Winds on this link
Tariffs? As If
Okay, so there were these, like, totally annoying tariffs from, well, you know who. But Toyota handled it like a boss. They didn't just raise prices on everyone. They, like, absorbed the costs and focused on making stuff in America. That's how you keep your customers happy and your bank account, like, super happy. They said it would cost 1.45 trillion yen ($9.7 billion), but who's counting when you're winning, you know?
Hyundai's Struggle is Real
Poor Hyundai, though. They had revenue growth, but the tariffs, like, really hit their profits. It's all about, like, where you make your cars. They're trying to ramp up U.S. production, which is a smart move, but it's tough when you're playing catch-up. I feel bad, but like, not that bad, because Toyota is still winning.
Making Moves in the USA
We're, like, all about that U.S. expansion. More manufacturing, more hybrids, more everything. It's all about staying ahead of the game, you know? We're not just selling cars, we're selling a lifestyle. A *rich* lifestyle. Just kidding... mostly.
Numbers Don't Lie
The analysts are saying our profits are gonna rebound, like, almost 30%. That's, like, insane. And the stock popped 3%. See? Everyone loves Toyota. Even if they don't admit it, they're secretly driving around in a Prius, wishing they were as cool as me.

Toyota's focus on local production is definitely paying off.
