Thanks Leeky and your trip seems well worth it!
If 1000 is indeed true, it looks like we are now down to 992 units!

Hey Leeky, where are you staying? PM me your contact info if you need any help with anything while you're here.
As for the numbers issue everyone is talking about, it sounds like what will be made for Japan only. As far as numbers being written differently in Japanese, I don't think that's the issue. For example, 2,500,000 Yen if often written as 250万円 where the 万 means 10,000. 1,000 can be written as 千 Not sure how the two would be confused unless the translator sucked...but then again, most of the Japanese career Engrish teachers here can't speak enough English to save their life. |

Well keep in mind East Asian languages count in ten thousands while Western European languages count in thousands. What I mean is where English goes one - ten - hundred - thousand and then resets to one thousand - ten thousand - hundred thousand etc. etc., East Asian languages go 一 (1) - 十 (10) - 百(100) - 千 (1,000) - 万 (10,000) - and then resets to 一万 (10,000) - 十万 (100,000) - 百万 (1,000,000) and so forth. I definitely know people that have just moved that have confused thousand and ten thousand simply because the numbers are counted differently in Asian languages compared to English.

There is some confusion here due to the translation of languages.
I've been doing close business with the Japanese for many years, i don't speak much Japanese and i always use an interpreter for every trip to Japan which i take every few months. The Japanese have a hard time translating numbers. Many times 1,000,000 turns into 1,000 or 100 turns into 10,000,000. It's the number of zeros that is always way off. If you understand the industry (which i'd hope you would if you were even in the position of dealing with a Japanese company) then you'd understand the number. Also, the Japanese say "hand made" to anything that they consider to be made with more caution than their average domestic product. Everything from noodles to jeans to electronics. So basically this means nothing other than "this car was made by Japanese people only".

hand assembled is not hard to believe, there are a few hand assembly plants for toyota cars (mostly for small markets) of specific models. i recently read an article about one being put up for I think it was taiwan (don't quote me on that.) an interior hand assembled will be a dream, in my opinion.
1000/year is disappointing, but then again I don't understand why there is a scion and toyota version. there should only be toyota. what i want to see is some track numbers. where is the video leeky promised?
