Lexus Scales Back Production Due To Reduced Chinese Demand

Toyota is scaling back production of its luxury Lexus cars in Japan to adjust to reduced demand in China, where anti-Japanese riots broke out last week over a territorial dispute.

Toyota said on Tuesday production of Lexus models was being curtailed at its 100%-owned Kyushu subsidiary in south-west Japan, but declined to give numbers or other details.

Nothing new here. All luxury makers are scaling back before China implodes.

.....China is not going to implode Sir. Remember, If Toyota or Lexus has to scale back for any reason whatsoever, they'll only make even better quality vehicles. So, no matter how you look at it Toyota is here to stay and will continue to make the worlds best vehicles. TAKE THAT AGENT009!

Whatever, its not a big market for Lexus anyway... And its not because of anything, its just due to anti Japanese sentiments in China at the very moment...

The only people this hurts are the workers in China. That's the story of export economies. When times are good, you look invincible, when things are bad, you're just a low cost bitch.
