The View from Honda “We are the most international of the Japanese companies. At the moment we are the most diversified, and we will be more diversified in the future. Still, I think it would be very hard to build a one-type world car. In the end, I don’t think it would be very efficient.” ---Nobuhiko Kawamoto President and CEO, Honda Motor Company PSU - Global Brand Management - Alain Hutinel
The View from Toyota Our global strategy used to center on “world cars,” which we would modify slightly to accommodate demand in different markets. Today our focus is shifting to models that we develop and manufacture especially for selected regional markets. Examples North America: Avalon and Camry coupe and station wagon. 1997 Sienna minivan. NUMMI Joint Venture: Tacoma light pickup. Europe: Carina E Southeast Asia: Toyota Utility Vehicle (Kijang in Indonesia, Tamaraw in Philippines) PSU - Global Brand Management - Alain Hutinel
