Toyota/GM/Ford/VW/etc did not become big, successful corporations by dictating to consumers what they want to buy.

No, but they might be able to remain big, successful corporations by preventing consumers from buying anything else.

That kind of collusion is not only overtly illegal, but also extremely difficult to maintain, especially worldwide.
