Good times have finally shone on the rather sad Toyota Kirloskar Motor after the launch of its two car models in India. Toyota India was woe stricken with low sales, as the car maker could not handle the stiff market competition along with the long stretchy market slump. Things were even worse, as the Japanese car maker’s more affordable Etios sedan and Liva hatchback did not become great successes, compelling the company to withdraw itself from the compact car market of India.
