New Avensis will do the job without fuss

I MAY well be wrong here, but I get a sense of frustration lately emanating from the direction of the Toyota Ireland HQ in Dublin. I’m not fully certain why this is, but I definitely sense it.

Sure Toyota is right up there in the vanguard of new car sales right now — a very important detail when the sales figures are going through the roof after years of unremitting misery for everyone involved in the motor industry — but I sense a frustration in the organisation and I think it is down not so much to their own performance, but because of external factors.

It is common knowledge that some manufacturers are maintaining their sales figures by pre-registering a pile of vehicles right at the very end of every month to massage their overall performance.
