    I see the article didn't miss a chance to bring up the (old news) recall. How long will that keep surfacing - yet other dealer recall news drops off the face of the earth in no time.

    Toyota: Building economy cars in Japan not feasible as yen climbs

    Toyota: Building economy cars in Japan not feasible as yen climbs

    Excerpts:

    • Toyota Motor Corp., the biggest exporter of autos to the United States, is trying to cut production costs for Yaris and Corolla cars as a rising yen makes it unprofitable to build economy cars in Japan for sale abroad.
    • The carmaker is also planning to start production of Prius hybrid cars in Thailand as early as this year, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Aug. 7, without saying where it got the information.
