How come Toyota is one of the most profitable auto makers.Yet they have less factories in US than rivals?
I have heard that Toyota is one of the most profitable auto makers and they have less factories in the US than Honda or Nissan and that most of their cars are imported ie the percentage of US made content in their cars are less. Then how come can they maintain their profitability. A: Mad Jack should get his facts right,Toyota workers make the same wages as GM,Ford and Chrysler workers.There are at least 2 Toyota plants that are UAW(Tacoma,Corolla) and in Japan they do have labor unions.Half of all Toyota’s sold in the US are imported,because Japan and Toyota work together to keep the yen artificially undervalued they make about $4000 average on every vehicle brought into the US.Because of this they have recently said they will not be building any more assembly plants in the US,they make more money importing the vehicles.Consumer Reports said today that Toyota’s reliability and quality are falling with the Tundra motor and 4 wheel drive system problems along with the Camry transmission
