However, Toyota still sells more vehicles each year but the gap has narrowed down to less than 1.5 million cars. Though Toyotas reputation is going down after a series of recalls, low quality for Volkswagen remains an issue in the U.S market. Volkswagen needs to strengthen its market in the United States to expand its market share. Stefan Jacoby, VWs U.S chief persuaded the board to build a U.S plant. The board later approved the plant and allocated $1 billion for the construction of the plant scheduled to open in 2011.

US auto industry is full of auto manufacturing companies, BMW Group, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, Ford Motors, General Motors, Honda/Acura, Hyundai/Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru are the main competitors in US Auto market. For 2012 as a whole, automakers sold approximately 14.5 million vehicles in the U.S. Market, a 13 percent increase from 2011 and the highest annual sales total since 2007 marking the third consecutive year of annual sales increases of at least 10 percent. As fuel prices remain high and there is greater concern for the environment, more energy efficient cars are increasing in demand.
However, since 2010, this longstanding quality reputation has been unabatingly shattered by increased vehicle recalls that have seen virtually every class of consumer affected (Rajasekera, 2). Recognizing that its reputation and brand is at stake, Toyota has endeavored to not only publicly apologize, but also settle a class-action law suits totaling $1.1 billion. While this strategy may look inept to many, research provide that leadership requires swift acknowledgement of mistakes and fitting solutions which is what Toyota has done.

It’s thus hard to believe that there was nothing wrong with Toyota’s “quality” cars. The massive recalls were indeed a disaster for Toyota: not only means that they had to pay for the extensively financial losses due to repairing costs, market and stock share dropping down, production suspending, civil penalty, and other relevant expenses for dealing with the troublesome issues; but also it has heavily hit to Toyota’s intangible assets – its brand image and reputation of quality, which have been ethically shaped over time
