The Shreveport plant is still open but, it is scheduled to close this summer.
Toyota has a large presence in the United States with six major assembly plants in Huntsville, Alabama; Georgetown, Kentucky; Princeton, Indiana; San Antonio, Texas; Buffalo, West Virginia and Blue Springs, Mississippi. You drive a Hummer what the [bleep] would you know about anything mechanical. Toyota opens plants GM closes them in the US End of story.
Buffalo and Huntsville are strictly engine/Transmission production. I didn't include GM engine/transmission plants or stamping plants or it would treble the total.
If we include engine and transmission assembly plants the totals jump to:
GM - 22
Toyota - 6
Now we're over 3:1 and ignoring another dozen U.S. GM plants that make everything else.
The earlier poster's claim was beyond exaggeration. It was an outright fabrication.
22 plants vs 10 toyota plants. 64000 GM workers vs 17600 Toyota workers. That is not counting vendors assembling parts like you are probably counting. 3 x the workers making a quality product not some piece of [bleep].
