Toyata bracing itself for 31% drop in profits

[Ford Jellymoulds]

AUTOBLOG..Toyota has announced that the company's net income for the fiscal year ending in March may decrease by as much as 31 percent compared to one year earlier. According to Automotive News, the Japanese automaker expects to earn around 280 billion yen, which is about $3.5 billion at current conversion rates. Last year, the company raked in 408 billion yen, or around $5.1 billion. The projected earnings are a far cry from what analysts had predicted. Bloomberg recently averaged the forecasts of 13 analyst estimates at 421.8 billion yen, or $5.3 million.

Toyota is facing a number of hurdles related to the shortfall. Chief among those are production delays tied to the earthquake and tsunami disasters that struck Japan in March of this year. Toyota has a higher level of Japanese production than rivals like Honda or Nissan, and it may take longer for the manufacturing giant to get back on its feet. As a result, Toyota is bracing for a sales decline tied to fewer available vehicles.

In addition, the yen is currently at its highest level against the dollar since the end of World War II, which is making the company's exports less and less profitable.

The Toyota conspiracy theory , MMmmm we know the real truth..

That will teach them to use cheap n' chearful dodgy Ching Chong chinese inferior parts in their cars, save a few bucks doing it on the cheap & lose billions in the process..

Just like ford the latest american made index is out and the f-150 didn't even come close 55% american content cheap,cheap, cheap!!!

I am so disappointed in Ford for this one, the F-150 should be about as American as you can get. I just bought a 2011 Explorer, it is 85% domestic content with an American engine, transmission and it is of course assembled in Chicago.

I am with you on that buddy, nobody has complained more on BON than me about Ford should build more of its products at home for the North American market as Ford are an American company.

 

It's fair to say that all the big three did in the past until the Japanese manufactures like Honda & Toyota were allowed to set up shop in the US, they undermined the big 3 by building mostly ching chong kit cars built as first by shipping in from Japan then its Chinese Denso parts plants based in China, nothing beats a Japanese bow & fake smile as they shaft you & your home grown industry up the arse as you bow back. Big three were the forced use less American component parts by the Japanese American based Trojan Horses to do the same thing or go out of business. Over the last 40 years it's fair to say that the US door has been wide open to the Japanese auto imports & setting up of Japanese Trojan Horse plants that have done nothing but undermine the American auto industry & its workers terms & conditions since day 1. In contrast the Japanese have been allowed to get away with operating a "closed door" policy thats been as tight as a nuns c$nt to the American big 3 auto makers over the last 40 years. Ford are the best sellers of Big 3 American cars imported into Japan about 300 a month on average, anybody that buys an American cars in Japan is treated like a social leper with the bubonic plague. If Ford ever tried to build a plant in Japan, the plant would be treated with the same reverence as somebody wanting build 20 nuclear power plants on a Nippon fault line by the sea by the Japanese.

 

If Ford make a truck like the F-150 using cheaper materials its well designed, its not a "Ching Chong" design like Toyota Tundra.

 

Tundra ching chong designed sludge in an engine, leads to the ching chong desined camshafts burst through the hood, which is no doubt a fail safe mechanism for Tundra ching chong design tailgates that fall off or drop down depositing hundreds of bouncing watermelons down a florida 192 highway, but then the Tundra comes with a failsafe built in ching chong designer built in bed bounce so by the time your Tunda tailgate falls off you wont have any watermelons left in you Tundra they would have bounced out before you got onto the highway, Tundra also come with spare wheel retaining ching chong failsafe straps that are made from crap ching chong materials that breakaway letting your spare wheel bounce through the windscreen of a following vehicle and as the ching chong spare wheel falls of the Tundra comes with severed brakes lines.

 

Why would anybody buy a truck from Toyota no wonder their profits have fallen 31%, it has nothing to with their piss poor ching chong pick-up designs their crap ching chong Tundra is sooooh fooking perfect according to Toyota.

The sad thing is ford is heading down the same road and it is just a matter of time until it hits them square in the ass, now they take the icon of american sports car the mustang and put a chinese tranny in it makes me want to puke!!! Right today if ubuy a tundra versus a ford it will put more americans to work that is how far ford is out of whack.... Edited June 11, 2011 by kenp77

Ford, GM & Fiat/Chrysler sales were all up bigtime as Toyota sales have plunged due to Toyota's plunge in quality with runaway recalls that included the Tundra Stateside, this has led to a massive improvement the in the massive US trade deficit in auto's with Japan "before" the earthquake & tsunami hit Nippon.

 

I think this a Toyota conspiracy theory they are using the problems back home to cover up their own massive fall off of sales &massive losses in profits Stateside and indeed around the world & take the focus off their shitty runaway recalls & try and get a bit of sympathy with Americans that will sorry for them.

 

Recalls not earthquakes are rocking USA profits long before the tsunami leading to a massive improvement in the US trade imbalance between the US & Nippon Auto maker

 

On the day that the recall was announced in the US, it was announced that 750 jobs will be cut at Toyota's British plant at Burnaston, near Derby.^[145] It was estimated that each Toyota dealership in the US could lose between US$1.75 million to US$2 million a month in revenue, a total loss of US$2.47 billion across the country from the entire incident.^[8] Additionally, Toyota Motors as a whole announced that it could face losses totaling as much as US$2 billion from lost output and sales worldwide.

Don't blame it on the recalls, don't blame it on crap runaway Toyota Ching chong deathtrap designs, don't blame massive US-Nippon trade deficit improvement due to big 3 profits growing out of control, just lie hide and try to cover the massive fall of in sales of Toyota on the tsunami boogie.

 

Ford, GM & Chrysler sales/profits are on the up mate, Toyota with its crap ching chong runaway designs are on the way down Stateside for good wake and smell the coffee mate...

The same people complaining about the domestic content of certain vehicles are probably the same ones who complain about how expensive they have become. Ford is a global company. They are going to source parts from where they are most affordable. And well, the drop in domestic content in the F-series doesn't seem to be hurting its sales, does it?

Not to mention the fact that if the $40,000 F-150 was entirely built with American sourced parts, it would probably become a $52,000 F-150 which isn't good for anyone. I'm sure the guy thats gripes the F-150 has too much Asian content would be the first to sign up for a $12K+ more expensive truck just because its 100% American. NOT.

My point exactly ford is buying cheap ass parts from everywhere and their prices keep going up what does that tell U?? As far as sales with fuel and jobs just wait until years end sales will tank for everybody!!!

Is that why an American made Civic or Camry, with more domestic content, is substantially more expensive than a Mexican built Fusion?

 

Or why a Texan built Tundra with more domestic content is substantially more expensive than a Michigan built F-150 with more foreign parts?

 

Oh wait. They are about the same price, aren't they.

Thanx Poineer at least someone on here gets the picture....

I can understand what you are saying, nobody wants to see cars like the Fiesta & Fusion made with 100% US parts inside every car. But every time you buy a Toyota you send big profits back to Japan.

 

If GM & Chrysler had been allowed to fail by Obama "One Million American Auto Workers" would have lost their livelihoods, whats left of the American components suppliers might have brought Ford down to with them. Do you honestly think Toyota would have stayed in the US if they more or less had just a weak Ford left to destroy, no they would have not you prices would double on the Camry overnight & they would build from Mexico or China on the Cheap. Toyota Trojan horse is only building in the US so they can destroy the American auto industry, they don't give a toss about you.

 

British Leyland had 55% market share in the UK in the late 60's, Ford made some cracking cars Capri/Cortina/Escort with "Made in the UK" on the data plate of everyone of them. Most Brits didnot not worry to much about buying British Leyland as Fords were just as British like Toyota are American to you. Ford destroyed most of the UK industry in the 70's it is fair to say, today we now have no British Leyland, and Ford don't produce a single car with a "Made in England" data late the last one was the Escort back in 2000. So let that be a warning to all you Jap cocksuckers...

Since the Japanese earthquake, those Japanese companies just can not produce enough Accord, Civic, Camery, Corrolla. Why? Because their parts are from Japan. How do you justify that? When you talk about content, do you give weight to each parts? Is a Chinese made cheap screw provide same value as a Ohio made engine? Earthquake is bad, but earthquake really reveal that Japanese Car companies are just liers as usual. When they count the content of their car or truck, they give same weight to a screw as they give to an engine. Each car or truch has thousands of screws but only one engine. If those Japanese companies do use critical parts made in USA, they should not have problem to keep up their production. The impact of earthquake to Ford, GM and Chrysler is not material, why? It is those critical parts that determine the price of a car or truck, not the screws. F-150 and Fusion's engine are all made in USA. I know that Honda and Toyota have engine plant in the States, but do you ever match the number of engine they made in USA with number of car or truck they sell in USA. It is really really inproporitonal. far far beyond inproportional. You do not need rocket scientist's brain to figure that out.

It only takes one missing part to interrupt the production process.

 

And no, screws and engines are not counted equally.

[NickF1011]

It's not quite as cut-and-dry as that, but there are definitely loopholes in ways content can be counted as "domestic".

[weiweishen]

It only takes one missing part to interrupt the production process.

 

And no, screws and engines are not counted equally.

My understanding is: that missing part is exactly only made in Japan, and that missing part is so difficult to make that no any other place in this planet can make it, and that missing part is so precious that no any alternative can be used to replace it and Japanese companies need to wait continuously 7 monthes for it to be ready. Does this really make any sense? If all of above assumptions are right, why Ford GM Chrysler still keep their production as usual. Do Ford, GM, Chrysler need that missing part?

Ford is saying exactly what u say above no red paint no black paint I call BS u can't tell me paint can't be made in the USA!!

F-150 and Fusion's engine are all made in USA.

 

Wrong. The 2.5 four cylinder is made in a Mexico.

[Pioneer]

Ford is saying exactly what u say above no red paint no black paint I call BS u can't tell me paint can't be made in the USA!!

 

You also can't order an F-150 or Mustang with factory navigation. With it being almost a $2000 option, you can't tell me that it can't be produced domestically.

[Pioneer]

Now compare Tundra sales to F-150 sales. Shows you how much anybody even cares about domestic content.

 

Look at the latest unemployment numbers and the daily articles on budget problems in just about every school district and local government operations. People need to start caring or things will never get better.

[Ford Jellymoulds]

Chevy Cruze is absolutely a pile of crap nobody buys them in the UK, we buy the Focus & Fiesta that are both in a different league both are million times better much more refined.

 

Only reason the absolutely dreadful Cruze does well is GM assemble it in the USA & wrap it up in the star spangled banner like the like Toyota do with the runaway ching chong engineering crap Camry deathtrap another pile of shit it did not last 5 minutes in Europe, Cruze is top dog in Australia where it is also made. Chevy sell about 100 a month of the Korean made Cruzes in the UK nobody touches it with a barge-pole probably.

 

Ford should produce both the Fusion & Fiesta in Detroit for God sake Ford are an American company it should be a perk of the job to do so, if Germany the most expensive place on the planet to make cars can assemble the the Fiesta & Focus with very little profit for Ford. Why can't the more cars be produced Stateside like Pioneer says (If Ford have to do a tit for tat war with cheaper components war that was first started by Toyota's Denso China plants to gain an advantage in destroying the American automakers, then Ford have no choice in the matter than other than complete or go under sad to say, if Toyota then start making components Stateside as a marketing ploy at a big loss, then Ford should look to do the same thing again its a slimy underhanded deceitful Pearl Harbour moving battle to destroy)? Cant help but think if the superb Fusion was build in Detroit Ford would blast the Camry out of the water overnight...

 

This topic seem to be gone a bit off course focusing more on what Ford are doing wrong, rather than Americans have stopped sending billions of $$$$$$$ in profit via Toyota back to Tokyo due to runaway deathtrap cars not being flavor of the day with daft Yota buying Americans Stateside anymore. Which is the title of this topic, Toyota huge LOSSES.

Ford never said that they will not provide red paint or black paint until October. Ford has found the replacement. Japanese Car company especially Toyota created JIT (Just in time) because they believe that they can shift supplier immediately if something unexpected happened. Why they do not do their majic JIT this time. Because most of their suppliers are on Japan.

By the way, that is not paint, that is a components of paint and that component is not made by Japanese company. That component is made by a German company called Merck. The intellectual property belongs to Merck, it is illegal for any company to produce that components.

So if it is a german component why can't ford get it? Fjord didn't find a replacement they just changed the color, no tuxedo black or race red or candy red???
