First Toyota plant in U.S.
NZPA-Reuter Detroit The Toyota Motor Corporation has chosen a site near Lexington in Kentucky for its first American car assembly plant. The leading Japanese car manufacturer is said to have settled on the central Kentucky site for the
SUSSOO million (?NZB7S million) project. Toyota last summer disclosed plans to build plants in the United States and Canada, with the United States site expected to be in production by 1988 with an annual capacity of 200,000 cars.
A spokesman for Toyota’s sales subsidiary in Torrance, California, said that he could not confirm or deny the report. “The site selection is being conducted totally by the Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan and we have no information on it.”
