The Japanese manufacturing giant recorded third-quarter operating profits of 7.84 billion yen (£5bn).

Regardless of production cuts due to chip shortages, I wouldn't buy a Toyota again because they're now so damn expensive!
Why would you pay £14,795 for a tiny Aygo X with 71bhp and push out rear windows?!
Sure, Toyotas tend to be reliable and handle better than they used to, but the sensible stuff like practicality has gone out the window with recent models - the new Aygo / Yaris / Yaris Cross / Corolla are all cramped inside and have small boots.
