"Japan Quake: Big Automakers Hit, Little Guys Spared (Except Subaru)

Toyota’s string of bad luck seems to be continuing, if not purely at the hands of quake or tsunami damage. According to the latest word from the world’s largest automaker

The plants that have stopped production are Toyota subsidiary plants that produce parts and vehicles, including:
Toyota Motor Hokkaido Plant
Toyota Motor Tohoku Plant
Central Motor Corporation Miyagi Plant, which also produces the Yaris model.
Kanto Auto Works Iwate Plant, which also produces the Scion xB and Scion xD.

...snip...

And, according to yet another Reuters piece, Toyota’s low inventories of Lexus luxury vehicles could be especially vulnerable to interruptions. And, according to Automotive News the shutdown could affect exports to the United States of such cars as the Toyota Yaris sedan, Scion XB and Scion XD, as well as the Honda Fit subcompact, Accord sedan and CR-V crossover. The tremblor also affected production of the Acura and Infiniti lineups."

Me too.

I feel bad for Subaru though... my 02 WRX was one of the funnest cars I've ever owned.

I told some of my co-workers the same thing that I am glad I bought my Yaris last June before gasoline price spikes and the earthquake, tsumami, and nuclear crisis in Japan.
My heart goes out to all the victims in Japan of these unfortunate incidents. I think if this had to happen anywhere in the world the people of Japan are probably best prepared to deal with it.
