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...

:popcorn:

Its okay the AWD face-lift Hybird turbo 221WHP FRS we be sold a Toyota now

.........O___O

WTF raven ur account got hacked? Cuz it only takes a 10 year old kid to tell if that's real or fake.


or you are just fishing for fools like me. =/

I know you're trolling, but http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-01/toyota-halting-japan-plants-next-week-on-steel-factory-explosion.

Steel supplier go boom.

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.

Rescinded because this was legit...even if the facts weren't strictly correct.

Well played ;)

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.

No question http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases...ion+toyota.htm

scion is going away, toyota, is not.

Yes and he said it was putting into question the frs which it's not. It will be badges a toyota.

Yeah I didnt think this would be real (however he made the mistake of saying Toyota, its actually just scion) but it is

From Toyota's announcement: Is it wrong that I chuckled at this thinking of all the guys who re-badged their FR-S with the Toyota logo?

The OP didn't make a mistake at all. You just believe that he made this thread as a real thread instead of what it was.. which could have been a joke on the factories taking a week off next week or more likely just joining in on the clickbait/rumormill fun.


On topic of reality though, it's about time they killed Scion.

He was playing on the press release that Toyota will have to shut down for a week due to steel supplies. Come on Go get your troll threads right I know you can do it.

LOL I guess I think too black and white sometimes :iono:

Well in fairness Raven is the King of deadpan irony (the real meaning of irony not the accepted use) and fools many.

That's racist, what about ichi-san... :( you can't think Asian and latin?

LMAO!!!!!!! :lol: I guess I can try
