| when some said in this forum, while it was still called Toyota 2008, that Toyota wouldn't take a loss and no one would get laid off. Like the Guy from Toyota said, never say never. | |

Replying to: kdhspyder (Dec 25, 2008 8:08 am) Well the RAV4 isn't produced here, and if they are going to keep on shipping those over I think they would do the same with all the Lexus models and the Land Cruiser, which sell at much bigger profits than the RAV4 does. OTOH, I would think they could stop shipping the Prius immediately, thereby avoiding the exchange rate losses they may be incurring and giving the bloated inventory already on U.S. shores a chance to sell out gradually until the new model is ready in 6 months' time. This is an old model now, and it's less competitive than it was without even considering that gas at $1.70/gallon gives people a lot less incentive to seek them out. |
