Japan Earthquake

Does anyone know where in Japan the Subaru plant is located that is supposed to assemble the Toyobaru? If it is in the north I suspect the on sale date may be affected.

And if all you can think about is how the car will be produced after JP was hit by a massive earthquake... that's just.. shameful.

Since we're on the topic I donated some of my savings for the FT86 to the Red Cross Yesterday to help with the relief efforts over there. If you guys want, you can go to the red cross site and donate too

Oh give the guy a break. This website is for the FT-86 after all, and I have to admit I am curious if Toyota will announce a delay in plans.

But don't make me out to be a heartless bastard, I'm only an honest (and curious) person.

With that said, considering how Toyota employees are helping relief efforts I'm perfectly fine with a delayed release date if it means they will be able to help save more lives and repair damaged homes.

Yes, it makes you heartless person.

Put the joke on the side... seriously, There's still a earthquakes & tsunami is still happening right now (calming down, but still happening). I don't think, it's the perfect time to ask. After week later and ask this question, it's somewhat understandable... There's disaster STILL going on. Of course, he gonna get flamed on.

btw, he's the one told us to watch our language.

So bad language isn't okay, but this topic is okay even tho still disaster is going on in Japan? IDK but you, but that doesn't sit well with me.

Sorry, I didn't mean to flame you or anything. Just how he stated, hit several member's nerve (me included). Specially last sentence pissed me off badly

Yeah I can be pretty oblivious. No offence taken here though!

I agree the timing was probably off too.

Hell yea it isn't funny.

I was mad when I read it, because it's equivalent to someone asking a dead person's wife/husband that their significant other still owed them money they promised back 2-3 months ago. 2 days AFTER THEY WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED.

Also, for him stating that the admin's should clean up the website of its profanity. How about we just start booting people who can't seem to value a persons' moreover several hundred and thousands of dead missing lives for a car.

Seriously?

Ok I'm stopping right here before I go too far.
