They're plant runs seven days 24 hours and they still can't keep up. The news that I get from there is that one day Toyota will shut down Altona because the plant just isn't big enough and cannot be made bigger. Ironic that they are the victims of their own success.

My mate who works for Toyota recons they are losing $2000 on every Camry they export due to the higher aussie dollar. This may have eased a bit lately but even now they may only be breaking even, and exports make up well more than half what they produce.
And since Toyota make the Camry in 7 plants globaly its not hard for them to shut down Altona and just import them from elsewhere.
Just heard on the news that Holden will be cutting production now too.
