Which Toyota models will leave the market?

Japanese manufacturer decided to follow the example of General Motors and Ford. The U.S. model line will shrink, but who is the weakest link?

The sedan will probably stay in line. Another “Japanese” Nissan Versa remains the undisputed leader of the segment. In 2017, almost 107 thousand of such vehicles were purchased, and in 2018 – 75 thousand.
