The important part there is the $1.2 BILLION of our dollars being lost to Japan. That money isn't coming back, even though people have less reason than ever to buy Toyota's in the US.

I would never buy one, but they make nice cars. I wouldn't fault anybody for wanting one. |

1) Toyota manufactures more Canadian-built vehicles sold in Canada than any other manufacturer...can you say "domestic"? 2) GM's investments in CHINA are substantial, where BUICK is considered a leading Brand...and is the main reason Pontiac, not Buick, was excised last year, because... 3) China IS the immediate "future" for GM and others. MORE vehicles will be sold in China than North America, giving a clear signal as to what an "Emerging Market" is/means... 4) It is only a matter of time before Chinese-assembled vehicles hit our shores, from various manufacturers...including GM. Those "assembled in China" products do NOT promise new manufacturing jobs in North America for us...but DO guarantee offshore investment profits... |

Gee, thanks for the objective tutorial...where they're all happy and smiling about their "Parts" suppliers...including the ones who made Toyota's throttle pedal assemblies right here in good ol' North America... Facts are facts...and the fact is, it's a World-wide business, with a World-wide network for EVERY manufacturer... Those statistics, sighted, are changing daily for, if they don't, GM/Ford/Chrysler-Fiat will cease to exist...PERIOD. So "wave the flag" while you can... The slow-boat from China is preparing to leave its home port...and will be FILLED with "domestic" brand names...FACT. What % of North American-sourced parts do you think they'll "wear"? |

No one can predict the future, especially not you. So even though there are multiple places around the globe where GM could open up plants, conduct research, etc., GM has decided to employ nearly as many American workers as all foreign automakers combined. |

My dad is retired from GM, and never gave me any grief over the camry either. It was the first car I picked out for me, all because I drove one as a rental back in 2000. Had GM had a great car like that then, and I drove it, I would have considered it. According to your URL they employ nearly the same number of American workers as Chrysler. Also a good amount of research money is spent here in the US by Toyota. Oh and GM's had partnership with Toyota. Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix, Toyota Corolla/Chevy Prism. It looks like if you are considering an import vehicle, Toyota is the best of them due to their high american workforce. |
