Belgium Sunday quotes: Toyota
"Once again I wasn't very lucky here - it seems to happen too often at Spa that I am competitive but I have bad luck. I was hoping we could have a strong race and score some points. This was possible because we had a competitive strategy and a great start so it's a shame that we couldn't manage to do it." Timo Glock - 8th: "I had quite a tricky race but I am pleased with a point because for a long time today it looked like we would not be able to achieve that. I have to say thank you to... // autosport.com 07/09/2008 06:12 Toyota gears down The Beacon Herald
Not even Toyota is bulletproof. The Asian automaker that has epitomized growth while its North American rivals cut jobs and slash production has been hit by the industry downturn -- and that will be felt at its new, $1.1-billion Woodstock assembly plant even before it opens its doors this fall. In a surprise move yesterday, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada said it's cutting its Woodstock production in half and its workforce there by 40 per cent. "Overall vehicle sales are the lowest since the 1990s and when the market drops no one is immune," said Carlos Gomes, an industry analyst with Scotia Economics in Toronto. Toyota has hired 1,200 workers for one shift in Woodstock when it had forecast 2,000 for two shifts. The company will now make 75,000 RAV4 cross-over utility vehicles a... // The Beacon Herald 07/09/2008 02:25 F1 : 2008 Belgium - Toyota F1 - Saturday report F1SA

Jarno Trulli : "We knew we would be struggling a bit today given these low
temperatures and it was a difficult qualifying for us - this has
been the trend of the weekend so far unfortunately. It was very
hard to get the temperature into the tyres in order to make them
work properly so it is then not easy to judge the car balance. As
well as that I am on the second race with my engine and that is
particularly important here because you have the long straights.
Normally on the second race the engine loses a little bit of power
and here this makes a difference to the lap time. But tomorrow is
another day and I will do my best. The only positive point is that
we can choose our strategy just before the race." Timo Glock : "It was quite a difficult session for me today. In practice we were... // pitpass.com 07/09/2008 01:18 Belgium Saturday quotes: Toyota autosport.com

Toyota Motor Corp.'s U.S. sales dropped 9.4 percent in August,
dragged down by sagging sales of its sport utility vehicles and
trucks, including the Tundra pickup produced in San Antonio. Sales of the Japanese automaker's SUVs and trucks were down 16.4 percent to 81,911 units from 97,964 a year ago. Consumers have shunned big vehicles in recent months because of gas prices and uncertainty over the weak economy. “Fuel economy remained top-of-mind for buyers this month,” said Irv Miller, Toyota group vice president. Sales of the Tundra, Toyota's full-size pickup, fell only 8 percent for August, in part because the company boosted marketing and incentives to move the vehicles off dealer lots. It sold 17,401 of the trucks in August compared with 18,919 a year earlier. The numbers... // San Antonio Express 05/09/2008 06:28 Toyota August Sales Off Nearly 10 Percent PaddockTalk
