Oh don’t worry, everyone already knew lol
Then why doesn’t Toyota and Nissan do something about it? It’s their product, regardless of where it’s made.
Also why are they shipping vehicles with software created for North America then acting like it’s Americans faults that features don’t work or only come in English, French and Spanish.
Sounds like they’re making bad decisions and trying to blame it on cultural differences
Welcome to capitalism everything you buys is the worst version someone can legally sell you for the most they can charge.
We don’t need giant, dangerous, shitty trucks like that here.
40 years ago Alexi Sayle joked about moms driving giant Range Rovers to the shops.
40 years ago range rovers weren’t particularly big, nor much of a soccer mom car compared to what it is now
It’s the same customer: People buying the absolute largest car sold with features like off-road 4 wheel drive that they have absolutely no intention of using.
If Range Rover offered a 3,000 kg car in 1985, soccer moms would have bought it.
It was a very different car. If you wanted the absolute largest, you bought American. Even in 2026, Range Rovers are small compared to what GM has to offer, but in the 1980s, the difference would’ve been even bigger since the Suburban and its derivatives have grown less. Go back to the early 80s or 70s and the Range Rover wasn’t even offered with 4 doors yet, it was even smaller.
Put it this way: A Volkswagen Golf estate is now about the same size as the first 4 door Range Rovers. A regular Golf is a tiny bit shorter than the original Range Rovers (2 door). Current VW Passat is significantly bigger.
If you wanted the absolute largest, you bought American.
No one in Britain bought American made cars in the 1980’s because they weren’t officially imported. American imported cars were grey market that needed extensive conversion to be legal.
