Toyota Tundra News
Headlines on today's business section of the San Antonio newspaper are "As gas prices rise, Tundras stack up"
They went on to say that as the gas prices hover around $3.61 nationally, the idea of buying a Toyota Tundra that gets 15 miles per gallon isn't appealing. Causing the supply of Tundras to double to a 88-day supply. Here in San Antonio the Tundra plant was churning out 725 trucks aday. They have cut back to 650 per day. The paper said that Nissan had a 134 day supply, GM has a 138 day supply, Dodge had 90 day supply. Ford declined to disclose their inventory. |
wait till the summer hits:pca1:

screw those sorry people who make the poor man pay their prices because they can't get off their a** and work for a living
|
yup, and if you can spend 40k on a new truck you can pay 3.50 a gal

Headline News: San Antonio... In a city, with an area population of around 2 million people; San Antonio thought that a new Toyota plant would be the panacea to give everyone in town a job.
Well, now Toyota is reducing manning by 210 jobs. These were temp jobs that Toyota used to possibly screen for full-time hires. The news also said that in addition to layoffs, truck production slow-downs, there will also be days that no trucks roll off the assembly line. What is becoming of our economy? :madd::argh::madd::argh: |

no offense taken, we both got our own opinions
|
This thread started with Toyota San Antonio announcing that they had a back log of Tundra's... then just a month ago, Toyota announces a lay off...
Now, Toyota in San Antonio announces that they will be shutting the Tundra plant down for 3 months. Bad news for Toyota. |
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).

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.
