Toyota to Post First Loss


Highlighting the credit crunch and economic down turn that is affecting all auto makers, Toyota is expected to report its first loss ever. Speculation is Toyota will have a loss of $1.7 billion for the year ending March 31. Toyota has idled factories and delayed opening a new plant in Mississippi. Honda had similar news last week. So the woes of the Detroit 3 are not caused by stupid business decisions, but the collapse of the auto market which is hurting every auto manufacturer.

What a naive comment. Yes the whole industry is down, but the D3 have no product, combative unions and IMO poor management. Not so with most other makers.
