I'm sorry, I was wrong... the Renault Logan runs about $6100.

Watanabe said the company will review each step in the production process to lower costs for a new model and then to apply the lessons across its line-up. Been there. Seen that. Best of luck to them.

IOW, nothing's been done yet. My grandpa used to tell me I could stop reading newspaper articles when they started talking in the future tense. I think we have a case of that here, too.

I think Toyota wants this process so it could build even less costly
entry level cars for the USA market at one of Toyota's North American assembly lines.
This Toyota model:

...Did very well in EuroNCAP new car crash testing and could easily do very well with the NHTSA crash tests. It could sell surprisingly well in the USA.

Toyota announces that eventually they are going to do what they announced they are going to do someday...maybe....
The big news from Toyota is that someday this will be big news?

I'm sure that the people in Toyota's Engineering Department are shaking their heads and dumping their Toyota stock.

Sensei say...when in position of weakness, project strength.
Methinks they have knowledge of a competitors plans and are a wee bit concerned. As a trucker, I expedite "stuff" to Americans plants. Lots and lots of "stuff" being expedited to GM from Germany and Ford from Australia. That's ALL I did in Nov. and Dec.

I'll buy it if it isn't the size of a roller skate on wheels.
I hate cars that have tires the width of a roll of toilet paper.

Competition from Hyundai/Kia?
Just a few years ago Hyundai/Kia was known as the inexpensive, poor made, unreliable car with a great warranty. In the last few years they have become the maker of inexpensive, well made, and reliable cars with a great warranty.
The automation and quality control of the Korean car maker has become the envy of the auto industry
It's my guess that Toyata needs to adjust to this new competition.

After 10,000 miles instead of changing the oil, you take it in and change cars.

general motors and ford are burdened by their bureaucracies and their unions.
the unions call themselves "progressives", but they destroy anything new that comes their way.
