Have you ever thought about such an interesting phenomenon - in our domestic reputation Toyota Motor, its internal staff does not seem to be keen on buying its own brand of vehicles. It's like a chef who doesn't like to eat his own food after work, which makes people a little curious, right? First of all, it may be because Toyota employees are in the middle of it, dealing with various Toyota models day in and day out, as if they were staring at the same dish every day, which inevitably leads to aesthetic fatigue. Just imagine, if your daily work is to deal with familiar faces such as Corolla and Camry, then wouldn't life be a little less fresh when you go home and drive the same car? Therefore, they may be more inclined to choose other brands to experience a different kind of driving pleasure.
On the other hand, it is interesting to talk about Toyota's safety. Although Toyota is known for its fuel economy and durability, it is indeed a "little sweet" in daily use, and there is almost no need to bother with maintenance and repair. But according to some data, Toyota's performance in major traffic accidents has not always been at the top. This is like a gentleman who is usually gentle and elegant, but once he encounters a violent impact, he seems to be a little powerless. It turns out that in order to pursue fuel economy and lightweight, Toyota has done a lot of subtractions in the body design, such as reducing the weight of the body as much as possible, and the sheet metal can be thin and thin, just like the best successful athlete, a punch may be concave. Of course, this energy-absorbing design can ensure the safety of occupants to a certain extent, but in a serious collision or secondary collision, whether the body structure can provide adequate protection has become a big question mark.
Imagine if you're an "insider" of a Toyota and know the trade-offs involved in its manufacturing process, and maybe you'll be more careful about whether your own brand is right for you. After all, safety is no small matter, especially when accidents happen, and no amount of peace of mind can be worth a strong and reliable protection. Therefore, Toyota employees' choice may not be a rejection of their own products, but the result of a trade-off based on their knowledge of the automotive industry and their actual needs.
