    Very interesting.

    Drop in on various threads with often inflammatory posts.

    Why do you declare Tacomas are built in Tijuana, and show photos of shanties/ slums?

    Just curious, do you have some type of agenda?

    Do you own a Tacoma?

    Tijuana plant on track to crank out over 160,000 units for 2018.


    After US$ 150 million expansion, Toyota plant in Tijuana increases production by 60%.

    Production volume at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Baja California (TMMBC) increased by 60 percent during the first quarter of 2018, by building 640 daily Tacoma pickups, after the Japanese automaker carried out an expansion of US$ 150 million, which involved the addition of 800 new jobs, revealed Oscar Quijada, vice president of the plant located in Tijuana, to local news outletFrontera.info.

    The extended capacity resulted in a quarterly volume of around 42,000 units, a figure that contrasts with the 104,622 units that were manufactured throughout last year at the same facility.

    Just facts.

    Yep, Tacomas are built in Mexico too.....

    Mexico, located within the continent of North America....

    440px-Location_North_America.svg.png
    North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 16.5% of the earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface. North America is the third largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa,[5] and the fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.[6]In 2013, its population was estimated at nearly 565 million people in 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population, if nearby islands (most notably the Caribbean) are included.

    North America was reached by its first human populations during the last glacial period, via crossing the Bering land bridge approximately 40,000 to 17,000 years ago. The so-called Paleo-Indianperiod is taken to have lasted until about 10,000 years ago (the beginning of the Archaic or Meso-Indian period). The Classic stage spans roughly the 6th to 13th centuries. The Pre-Columbian eraended in 1492, and the transatlantic migrations—the arrival of European settlers during the Age of Discovery and the Early Modern period. Present-day cultural and ethnic patterns reflect different kinds of interactions between European colonists, indigenous peoples, African slaves and their descendants.

    European influences are strongest in the northern parts of the continent while indigenous and African influences are relatively stronger in the south. Because of the history of colonialism, most North Americans speak English, Spanish or French and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions.

    Why not invest 150M in US instead of Mexico?

    No problem with your statement

    I want a quality product for my hard earned money


    Thus if a car is made in Detroit by Chrysler and is junk and yet a Toyota in Indiana or hond in Ohio is good, why is that?

    If I was a company ceo I would want my company to build good products for repeat buyers

    Companies are always trying to replicate what made them great using cheaper and cheaper ingredients. The difference in quality will always be noticed. The Japanese auto worker can't be replicated in Mexico or the U.S.

    The Japanese also have a very strong sense of nationalism and believe that they are superior to all other races. Although Americans also have a strong sense of national pride, there are many racial conflicts in the U.S. that reduce our ability to work together. The education systems in the two countries are also very different. While the Japanese have a very rigorous system through high school, it is possible for a student to graduate from high school in the U.S. without being able to read and write adequately. These differences may have serious implications for U.S. firms seeking entry level workers.

    Japanese workers are expected to provide suggestions for improving their own operating efficiency, as well as the overall productivity of the organization. The rational for this expectation is that it promotes continuous improvement. Although suggestion systems are also used in the U.S., employee suggestions are viewed more as a threat to management. U.S. employees who constantly recommend changes are likely to be labeled as trouble makers.

    Japanese managers seem to view the company's employees as their most important resources. To develop these resources to the fullest potential, the typical Japanese company offers lifetime employment, promotions from within, considerable cross training and job rotation and frequently a no layoff policy. In this way the Japanese use human resources as a competitive weapon.

    Employment in the U.S., however is somewhat analogous to a revolving door. Workers are routinely laid-off during economic down turns and there appears to be little commitment to training.

    Understood


    Then why is the Camry made in Indiana using American workers, better quality than the FCA in detroit with American workers?

    The Japanese auto worker of today might not be the same as yesteryear. They're not even making enough babies anymore. I'd venture to say that in the next twenty years we'll be lucky to get any Japanese built Toyota.
