The Toledo powertrain plant will begin recalling laid off workers in April as
they ramp up production of the 6-speed automatic transmission for the Chevy
Cruze. There are currently around 300 laid off employees and all are
expected to be recalled before the end of the year.
As Toyota continues their effort to sell themselves as an American company,
there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. For example, Toyota imports
more vehicles both in real terms and on a percentage basis than any of the
“big 3” Japanese automakers as well as the American “Big 3”. Here are the
numbers for 2009:
Domestic Imported
Toyota 1,106,303 663,844
Honda 970,310 180,474
Nissan 529,564 240,539
GM 1,991,093 80,656
Ford 1,606,965 70,269
Chrysler 930,903 499
