NickF1011 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 To keep this in perspective, they are only talking about Toyota Motor Company. Toyota Corporation (which includes Daewoo Automotive and Hino Trucks) will likely still post a profit in the range of $6B. Still, it does show that Toyota isn't invincible.

Hydro Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Right across from my work there is a huge lot for lease and guess what company started dropping off vehicles today..... Toyota has been renting land left and right down here in the Port of long beach, CA. Today they were unloading what appears to be Yaris, Corolla and Highlanders. I was so tempted to chuck rocks at them from our cooling tower... F*ck them, I'm glad to see them waste money on leasing land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
