Toyota fanboys be crying

[loanrangie]

Toymota has cancelled orders for the landbarge 300 indefinitely, what a shame.

Plenty of them getting around Kalgoorlie at the moment, and I saw at least a couple on display at the dealership when I drove past there yesterday.

When you read a bit further they've "suspended" taking new orders because the current production queue in Japan is some 4 years. If I was Toyota I'd call that a "nice problem to have".

It'll keep the value of the older models high and push the cost of newer ones up even further. I hardly think the Toyota fanboys will be crying. They'll all be sitting back driving their vehicles that are worth more now than when they bought them quietly giggling.

Yep still equates to no new 300 for the grey nomads anytime soon, all those sales will probably go to the Y62.

2022 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series: Real waiting times revealed - Drive (https://www.drive.com.au/news/2022-toyota-landcruiser-300-series-real-waiting-times-revealed/)
Wait times for Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda and Mitsubishi cars skyrocket amid computer chip shortage (msn.com) (https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/wait-times-for-toyota-kia-hyundai-mazda-and-mitsubishi-cars-skyrocket-amid-computer-chip-shortage/ar-AAZcMQ5?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=0dabe4c7702f4f199947e283e5cc120d)


Most 4WD deliveries (Including JLR) to Australia are experiancing long delays But it is highly doubtfull that it will take 4 years to get a 300 Series shipped to Aus.

Dealers are still saying 3 to 6 months,that is for an order that is not in stock.

Half the stuff in the media is only click bait.

Way quicker than, as an example,a Defender,approximately 18 to 24 months,which is only a guess.

The numbers of orders for 300 series is huge,something some other manufacturers could only dream of.

Back to early days of Range Rover when it was a year or more.

A mate has just received a Prado built "to order *" Wait time was around six months
* Toyota don't actually build to order, they have planned production schedules for variations of models. for example if you want a metallic purple Prado Kakadu with a specific set of options your planned production run might be 6 months away, if you want a white poverty pack one it might be weeks away.

I saw a yout00b vid yesterday or smth and toyota does not have a nice problem to have it seems since they have WAY more production capacity (factories) then they are using since they simply have not parts. So it's a very bad problem for toyota to have which might cause serious economic troubles for them which in turn might mean they are going to do a "honda". They pretty much survived the 2008 crash on their own but it cost them a lot of development budget and since then they have become somewhat irrelevant in a lot of markets.

No, I don't think this it al good for toybota :)

The new Range Rover had 10k deposits from just UK customers alone before it was in the show room to touch metal. If you have not put your UK order in before launch there is a one year wait.

The 300 had more deposits and orders than that before it was here and that is just Aus.
They are saying almost 20K,but who knows the exact amount.
The local dealer here had 55 deposits and orders,many from fleet customers,and we are not in a rural area,and the local dealer is not that big compared to many others.
There are around 300 dealers.

Yota seem to be the worst with lead times at the moment. When looking recently we got the following info.

RAV4 Hybrid - 2 years wait
Prado - 2 plus years wait
Fortuna - Unknown - probably dropping production next year to catch up on more popular models
Hilux SR5 - 18 Months

I called Mazda and asked about a CX-8 - 2 mid spec and one with full fruit available in the next 3 weeks. Other orders 3 months.

Subaru - 3 to 6 months for most variants.

Mate ordered a Isuzu Mux in Jan - delivery (at this stage) October…

Mate ordered a new RR last year on the day it was internationally released. No firm date yet but the dealer “thinks October” - just over 12 months.

Australia is Mazda’s biggest export market (apparently) and hence they are nice to us.

All manufacturers have lengthy delays at the moment.

And for the record there is no change to the delays for LC300,for Aus.

It’s all click bait many fall for.

Yes , that's how I read it too.

All other car companies would be wishing they had close to Toyota sales figures.

I read another article that stated that Toyota is going to limit the number of 300's into Australia to help reduce its average CO2 emissions/100kms. LC300, Hilux and one other I can not think of are Toyota's biggest CO2 / 100km polluters. I do not believe this fully as I have not read or heard anything about Toyota reducing their sale volumes of the Hilux or other vehicles.

That doesn’t sound right to me - no car manufacturer is held to any targets like that in Australia and overall it’s a small market so Globally makes no sense either.

More like they simply don’t have the components to build much of anything at the moment - Yota themselves have admired this.

Its to do with some reg in NZ,but i cant find any facts.

Not that the LC has ever been a big seller there anyway.

The average fleet fuel economy measure is used in USA and EU. In the EU the German brands and their Government fought very hard against its introduction and then on how it is interpreted

Similar issue with the new Kenworth K220 truck.

I was reading the other day that a dealer has capacity to do 120 trucks a year and has an order for 240
