Not a good situation for them.

No, not a good situation for them. I'd think the very logical scenario you just pointed out would indicate that any significant 'aftermath issues', however tangental from an energy perspective, were probably figured into what they (Toyota executives) called 'skyrocketing energy costs'.

In time the Honda Fit is going to be manufactured in Mexico . Probably for same reasons . More $ to be made . You'd think Toyota would do the same as Honda or here in the States . Like at the NUMMI plant in California . Shame they don't .

While looking for information on another subject I found some Honda fit to Mexico information and posted it on 7-7-12 (see my post #96 on the U.S. Yaris.....France thread and the follw up posts by me, why?, and moderator tk-421 up to post #104). This info didn't include radiation as a reason, but it is certainly more than possible.

BTW, thanks for posting the Prius C YT video from MPG-o-matic.

Just an idea, but are drinking the synthetic oil instead of using it in Yaris? This might account for your problems....
