If you're waiting... it might take a little bit longer.

To meet demand on new `05 Camrys, Toyota cut TC production to meet engine demands for Camry production.

Just heard it from my dealer in SoCal.

 

If that's true, woohoo!

I already own mine so this just makes it a tiny bit more rare

 

Exactly! i got mine in the nick o' time...NICE....good luck to u all
peace

 

That's great for the value of my car! Mini-coopers had huge back log, and now look; they have the best resale value of any car out there.

 

And oh yeah...If you really want a Tc, GOOD LUCK! Sucks to be you. I'll sell mine for $25,000 if someone's that desperate.

 

Not to be a naysayer... but naysay I say .

A dealer said it. And this post is heresay from the dealer. Take this with less than a grain of salt.

 

I say nay too. The tC and it's motor are built in Japan. The Camry and its motor are built in Kentucky. No need to cut tC production to supply the Camry with more motors.

 

Sucks to be you to OWN a TC, I think you have it backwards......

 

cyber, honestly, what's your problem with the tC?

 

About as rare as a civic once this models' production run is over..

 

She'll never give you a straight answer, her old posts show that she got REALLY worked up to buy one before she saw one in person, and then she didn't like the wheels or the length of the front end. Something apparently snapped after that.

As far as the production cut, I'll believe it when Toyota says it. Anyone know for sure that they build tCs on the same assembly lines as Camrys?

 

my thoughts exactly.. but it'll still be better than a civic for the price, the look, the features...

 

Hmm might be a good read, gotta search her posts .

 

Unless they've found some way to pump out several million tCs in the next few months, they'll never even come close to being as common as a Civic.

Let me put it this way: even after the tC's production run ends in a few years, there will be many fewer tCs on the road than Corvettes, and how many Corvettes do you see on a daily basis?

 

The tC is assembled in Japan, the Camry is assembled in Kentucky. So the answer you seek is no, they are not.

 

Well then, I think we have our answer.

But I have to wonder, was the dealer that dumb to believe the production-cut story, or did the dealer think his customers would be dumb enough to fall for it?

 

From the pressroom.
I dont think the TC by selling 4200 a month or around 50,000 this first year at current clip, probably will be around 30-40k, will make much of an impact in production. They already figured they were going to sell around 30k, so I am sure they made provisions to have extra engines for the demand.

 

haha! Found out her story.


HAHA

And that is how the legacy of Sandy on Scion Life started...

 

I still think that there's quite a bit of involved...

 

yup...she really sucks ___....never says anything of use...just bull____ comments
