Toyota Motor Company Developing Low Cost Car

By Jim H Crow 

As far as automakers are concerned, the three most important emerging markets are China, Brazil and India. Many of the world's largest automakers have started to focus their expansion efforts on these three countries and for good reason. China has helped Audi expand its sales growth the most, and the company has recently overtaken Mercedes-Benz in sales this year. Most of this is thanks to its long time successful operations in an exploding Chinese auto market.

Many automakers are making cars especially for their customers in these markets and the Toyota Motor Company is following suit. Toyota is currently in the developing stages of a new low cost car made specifically for customers in China, India and Brazil. The price of the car is set to cost around $11,000 making it more affordable for the masses. With such a low price car Toyota has the chance of gaining a massive amount of sales in these countries with some of the largest populations in the world.

Toyota is known for affordable and reliable cars around the world, and I am sure their new car will affirm this reputation. If successful, Toyota's new low priced car could help it maintain its status as the largest auto manufacturer in the world and maybe even help the company attain new heights in automotive sales that we never thought possible. The only obstacle the company has to overcome is the fact that they currently have a very limited presence in these countries. With such small brand awareness it will be a little harder for Toyota to initially convince buyers to purchase their cars over ones from other manufacturers who already have a well established presence in these countries. The new car supposedly has a targeted launch of 2012, but Toyota has declined to confirm any details.
