Seriously...
Toyota is now joining in on the conspiracy theory
Like GM hasn't offered incentives before lol
From a Free Press Article...
In another sign of the pressure facing the automaker, its national dealer council accused GM of using “taxpayer dollars to fund…a nationwide predatory advertising campaign.” Shortly after Toyota launched its recalls last month, GM began a series of incentives for Toyota owners that now include 0% financing and up to $1,000 cash back.
“It is outrageous that GM is using our taxpayer dollars against us, making me and other Toyota dealers pay to undermine our own businesses,” said Paul Atkinson, president of the Toyota’s U.S. national dealer council.
GM’s move was matched by other automakers. Last week Toyota launched an incentive campaign of its own following a 9% drop in February sales, also offering no-interest loans and lease deals.
“We understand why Toyota dealers would be frustrated, but they know better,” said GM spokesman Kerry Christopher. “Incentives have always been a part of the auto business.”
