100% production by September

Toyota just announced production will be at 100% by September.
Hopefully this means all the crazy prices will start to come down sooner rather than later as more people will hopefully wait til Fall. I really need a car now- but I may be willing to wait as well.

North American Toyota Production Expected to Reach 100 Percent in September

Parts Recovery Is Earlier Than Anticipated


ERLANGER, Ky. (June 16, 2011) – North American vehicle production levels are expected to return to 100 percent in September, Toyota said today. Production is recovering earlier than originally anticipated following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

On average, current production has improved to more than 80 percent through August. Eight of the company’s 12 North American-built models returned to 100 percent production on June 6.

“After September we will focus on making-up lost production as much as possible,†said Steve St. Angelo, executive vice president of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing, North America. “Our team members and suppliers here and in Japan have worked tirelessly to get us back to 100 percent, overcoming many challenges. The effort in Japan has been incredible, especially in the midst of such tragedy and devastation.â€

 

Wonder why this was moved out of pricing? I go there for news like that in hopes prices will be coming down.

 

Ahh ok- I just know in dealers and pricing- all sorts of talk about will the prices come down once production begins again- and all sorts of speculation about when that would be. Well, prices certainly can't go up anymore! Ha
