Fuji Heavy's U.S. factory begins producing Toyota Camry

I guess they're basically one and the same company.
I can't imagine Pepsi factories producing Coke.

 

Called expansion of services that has gone on for decades:
Not pepsi producing coke, if not pepsi expanding to producing vending machines, line of sports clothes, cameras... Like GE primarily making light bulbs, expanding to power tools, fishfinders, computers, etc.
Most recently Yamaha expanding to cordless power tools...

Hope you understand significance of Fuji Heavy, they recycle metals, steel specifically, and that is where significance of them arises...

 

Hope you realize that Sarge is talking about Fuji Heavy aka Subaru.

And here lies the hints I've been talking about: JAMA double counting of production by Japanese factories to take market share from US makers.
The Fuji Heavy production of the Toyotas will be counted as both Fuji Heavy and Toyota production. And at the end of the year it'll be exactly the 100,000 units regardless of what they actually build. Anybody want to challenge on this I'm game - prove me wrong and I'lll buy a Toyota. The 100,000 units are actually the factory capacity. So if Fuji is also building Subarus in the same plant then...

 

With barely a whimper, America allows the Japanese to pursue a strategy of non-reciprococity in trade that can only end in tears and recriminations somewhere down the line. Each new Toyota factory or Westinghouse take-over symbolizes the dissipation of America`s hard won technical edge and transition to vassal status. The longer the delay in implementing the necessary measures to avert this, the uglier it`ll be.

 

Bull.. Ask GM or Ford to start building factories to sell their cars in Japan and then we'll see

 

Prove to us why you are saying what you are saying.. and BTW, Toyota only recently acquired Subaru so what's your point ?

 

It's funny how previous camry was confused with the Legacy because of smilar size and tail light shape. Now it's gonna be made by subaru... oh the irony

 

Since last year Japanese makers have been told to report every vehicle produced as a kit for assembly in a foreign factory as one vehicle and to again count the same vehicle as it's assembled in the foreign factory as another vehicle.Mazda was the only holdout but late last year was strong armed into relenting and going along with the scheme.
The point I'm raising is very serious. American auto makers are being literally destroyed through a major scale fraud. Toyota is going to count the kits sent to Subaru as production when the kits are built and again as production when Subaru puts them together.
Executives in the non-Toyota makers are trembling with fear. They know that someone is going to leak the smoking gun evidence.

 

Japanese brand cars are being made within the United States of America?
I was told that and I am surprised.

 

No sir, I am dead serious about this. Guys are freaking out in the J-industry. Numbers are being fudged here and outsourcing production's the way it's being done. Toyota just 'overtook' GM this afternoon. It's really baffling how you guys see me as nuts. I've spent hours since last October with the people responsible for sending the monthly production figures to JAMA (the Japanese auto lobby which doubles as the official spokesman for the industry). This is a figment of my imagination or misunderstanding what they were complaining about. The specfic order was for them to double count KD and CKD units to create bigger monthly volume for Japanese automakers.
Please remember this debate when it starts to unravel. Smoking something? No sir, this is too serious a matter...

 

Yes.. but most people measure in terms of cars sold and that my friend is independently reported and accounted for, not soemthing you could make up..
