Interesting bit of that article.
Despite its problems, Toyota is forecasting a record profit for this year because of the effects of the weaker Japanese currency, which makes its cars cheaper abroad.
When the Japanese yen strengthens and the Aussie dollar weakens, as it no doubt will, we will be wishing we hadn't lost our Australin manufacturing as Toyotas become a very expensive car to buy.
