That is why we are starting to see them buying property and opening plants up here in the US. The import tarrifs were targeted mostly at the trucks. The gov . would only let so many truck motors come into the country at a time. The tariffs imposed additional taxes on the trucks and penalized them after bringing so many in . This is why only since the plants were opened up here that we are seeing so many more Toyota trucks on the road. The p/u truck was the only thing keeping the Americans in business. Nobody wants their cars unless they are the gas hogging muscle cars. This trend is dated also . The generation that grew up with hot rods is getting up in their yrs and the younger gen doesnt so much care for them. The Americans have the lock up on heavy p/u's right now b/c of the restrictions placed against the imports.I am sure that if Toyota is agreeing to build the trucks and engines here they will be going into production . This is going to be bad for Chevy, real bad.</blockquote>
