rut roh....I liked the old GM better myself. That one that used to have balls.

I know a few people at NUMMI and wish them the best of luck.

[WackySam]

Can’t blame Toyota.

[Petronski]

The future spells doomy for the venture called NUMMI.

It’s a Ford or Toyota for our family.

Anyone that thought Toyota was going to operate a UAW plant without GM was dreaming.

No way will they allow those slugs to slither into Toyota owned plants!

“The joint venture was developed to have American workers learn Toyota’s production methods, which were much leaner and more efficient. The UAW has not been able to organize workers at a Toyota plant in the U.S.”

The last sentence says it all

They were telegraphing this move the other day. It didn't take them long to come out in the open with it.

LOL. Who the hell would want the marxist as a business partner.

Calling Roger Penske...Mr. Penske, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

It was a skank payoff/buy, by Toyota, to get GM to not run to Washington and get the pols to keep Toyota out of the US.

For Toyota, it was a cost of doing business in a corrupt country. No biggie, they operate all over the world.

For GM, they got Toyota to make them some cars that they couldn’t design, or make themselves.

But, now Toyota doesn’t need GM as GM/UAW have stuck their last needle of incompetence in their arms.

By the way, you can buy Toyota stock (TM) on the NYSE. Today, up 2 percent.

Doing my schadenfreude dance. I am sorry to see CA suffer but I think it’s going to take a lot worse to wake up the voters in that banana republic.

[ConservativeMind]

This is exactly what I wanted Toyota to do when I heard GM was backing out of that venture.

[martin_fierro]

Toyota's involvement was the only thing that made this car worth buying.
