Toyota is closing down?
Hey guys I heard from motoring.au that Toyota will be closing all of their plants . Anyone else have any information on this? Something about Fr-s sales being so low, and production costs being so high that the company is going bankrupt...

I understand that they are just going to run the WRX through a press to flatten it and weld the rear doors shut and use that as the new 86.

Toyota is shutting down the SCION brand - see here: http://www.motortrend.com/news/break...Motor+Trend%29
this is putting into question the future of the FRS...which, will likely impact the future of the BRZ too. Personally, I think they should rebrand it as a Toyota Celica! This is the closest thing to the original Celicas since before 1986 when they went FWD. |
