Toyota is shutting down its Tundra pickup plant in San Antonio for three months and it's going to stop making pickups at a plant in Princeton, Indiana. Toyota is getting ready to make some more gas-friendly vehicles. It will soon start producing the Prius hybrid at a plant in Mississippi. As far as the Georgetown plant, it built 514,000 cars last year and it expects production to be down a little this year. The plant makes the Camery - which has been the number one car for the past six year, the Camery Hybrid and the Avalon. The Solara is also made in Georgetown, but Toyota had already planned to stop its production next month. Later this year, it will start production on the Venza, which will combine the benefits of a sports sedan with the utility of a SUV. |
