So he always feigned helplessness that “Toyota has no experience in small cars”, all the while selling Cuore from 2000 upto 2010, a 100% Toyota-owned subsidiary.

As far as I remember the CEO of Indus was Pervaiz Ghyas in those days. The name of the individual does not matter, they all have the same personality and same policy : they are compulsive liars in the face of facts.

Now in 2024 Toyota has dissolved the management of Daihatsu and will itself run the day to day operations as well as the R&D product development of “small-car maker”. If Mr Ghyas is still around in retirement somewhere, will somebody go to ask him what he thinks of this development?
