Here's the hyper-optimistic press release from Toyota:

Yes, business units, not plants. Toyota's purchasing and much of its manufacturing engineering is located in Erlanger, KY, as well as the plant. The plant is staying. The purchasing and operations groups are moving.

Hey Matt, good job at not writing a misleading headline!!! Many of your commenters seems to think that you're saying Toyota is moving all of its plants to Texas, which is ludicrous. Toyota employs something like 40,000 people in North America, and only about 10% of those are affected by this move. So no, not even…

They're not doing that.

I'll leave this here:

Mostly the purchasing/procurement will move either to engineering sites in Michigan or to Plano. Most R&D should unaffected.

Don't you worry, we are doing our best to inject some Jalop into the company. It may take a couple decades before we're all executives, but we're working on it! (It helps that Akio Toyoda is perhaps the most Jalop of them all).

Perfect.

There are many of us.

I don't know, there are a lot of google news results from the last hour regarding this...

Couldn't even make it far enough to wear the sticker off the tire :'(

For what it's worth, the RC-F with the retractable spoiler, in black, both looks and sounds incredible at WOT. There are more projects on their way, too.

And what company does put that kind of enthusiasm into the cars that hit lots??? We can go segment-by-segment here. Toyota may not lead, but they're not deserving of the blind hate they get on Jalopnik. You also have to realize that we're just now beginning to see post-recession and post-recalls vehicles hitting the…

And an R&D center who gives the engineers money to build their own race cars in their free time.

Yes.

yes but does it baby???

I know this video just from the preview jpg. 2:52 I think is where the real fun happens...

so menacing

There's already a movie about this...

Actually, according to the linked article, you get $1500 if you become a conquest.
