Actually stupid idiotic fucking brain dead move.

Texas and Perry will do and end zone dance further alienating Californians. The lost revenue from decreased market share in CA will never be offset by reduced labor costs.

They were not doing well in the public eye in CA after the accelerator problems. Now they fucked up again.

After the Valdez oil spill all the Exxons in CA closed. Not due to an organized boycott, but a 100 percent organic movement where enough of us wouldn't pull into an Exxon. Same thing is going to happen with Toyota.

Californians proved that decades ago when they started buying Japanese cars over cars made in the U.S. If it is the right price and the style they want they will buy it no matter where it came from.

And I went to the Exxon station site and they are all over CA. http://www.allstays.com/c/gas-exxonmobil-station-california-locations-map.htm

Even prior to this boneheaded move? And yes there are Exxon stations again. But the took about a five to ten year hiatus because Californians wouldn't pull into their stations.

Toyota had a plant in Fremont until 2010. Other than the "GM" cars (ie Toyotas with GM badges to goose their fuel economy averages when they couldn't make their own decent small car to save their lives) manufactured there, what cars were made in CA in the last few decades? Hint: absolutely none, every other plant in CA closed by the middle eighties. Why should Californians have showed loyalty to domestics when they literally were less invested in California than Toyota?

Oh, and GM's ineptitude killed that plant, Toyota pulled out because they didn't want a legal fight with GM, and now it makes Teslas.

To think people know or care where marketing jobs are for their car.

But a good Republican wouldn't be caught dead in a fuel efficient rice burner. Hence the pure stupidity of the Toyota move.

Their facility in Torrance is not a manufacturing plant.

You know this, right ?

I know people who work there, mainly IT workers.
