The Princeton, IN Toyota factory is also shutting down for three months, and when they reopen they will be retooled to make two different SUVs for Toyota. They also make the tundra at this point

 

And everyone was screaming that Toyota was gonna make a huge difference in the big truck market and steal half the sales from the rest of the companies... I'm glad I was right, the Tundra was just as much of a flop this time around as it was last time (bigger sales, but roughly the same percentage of sales as compared to what Toyota had figured).

 

I haven't heard anything about re-tooling or anything during the 3 months they cease making the Tundra's. (But this plant is brand new, too.) They did say that now none of the Toyota employees will be getting laid off during this 3 months. They talk about training and community service.

However, our Toyota plant has an addition 3000 (non-Toyota) employees working exclusively for their suppliers adjacent to the plant.

 

now we are begging it to be 3.50 a gallon

 

Bad news for San Antonio, unless they can retool for Priuses. Good thing my brother didn't follow through w/ them.

 

The Prius??? If that is the best of the best we can do for technology we are in trouble ... didn't a luxury Mercedes diesel beat the Prius across the board in everything but price?
