Which will come eventually, once the high margin vehicles are harder to sell. Until then Ineos Automotive need the margin to pay for the setup of this and any new models; as the various markets get saturated, they will look to other niches, of which a stripped out base model is probably the least profitable, but will at least keeps the lines running.
Thiess history is and how they started is interesting. Some of the reason why Toyota was looked down upon was the sentiments left over from WWII and this was still used as a quiet barrier up until the 1980's for various company and government contracts. One of the main reasons for bringing in the Toyota was because of issues with the Land Rover. The first LC did have issues but Toyota rectified and improved the vehicle quicker then what Land Rover was willing to do. Theiss was also selling Toyota trucks and was the sole importer of Toyota commercial vehicle into roughly the late 80's early 90's when the commercial vehicles become a part of Toyota Australia.
