November 3, 200520 yr The yen is getting weaker. it has risen to 117 yen to the dollar. experts say the yen could go to 120 to the dollar by years end and 125 early in the new year. from near 100 to 125 yean per dollar is a great profit maker for the Japanese auto makers.
November 3, 200520 yr yes that is true, but your casting it in a deceitful way. the US Dollar is getting stronger, thusly all OTHER curruencies fall against it. amazing huh?
November 3, 200520 yr what does this mean, i always have trouble understanding what a stronger dollar means to a weaker unit... Does this mean it will make Toyota's more expensive?

The yen is going down in value while the dollar is climbing, which spells big $$$ for Japanese companies selling crap in the US.
November 4, 200520 yr Same sh*t, different day. Toyota = record profits/GM = screwed [post="38283"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Agreed
November 7, 200520 yr The yen getting weaker won't effect the Toyota plants in the USA. That's why they're here. These are no longer imports my friends, but USA made Toy-otas. Unfortunately the profits all go back to the MOTHER LAND. Mama? :P
November 7, 200520 yr I'm sure Toyota will just raise prices again--to help the US automakers, of course :lol:
