If Toyota Is Projecting a Loss, Imagine the Pain Detroit Is in For

Toyota's been expanding world wide like crazy for the past two years, while Ford has been contracting for the past six years. Toyota took a big gamble and built big pickups in the US, and fuzzed up their image with Scion. Now the market has collapsed. Ford is lean; Toyota is bloated. Toyota (as far as I can tell) forcast a $6-9 B loss in the last six months of their current fiscal year. We'll see.

Toyota vs. Ford: A Modern Manufacturing Parable

It's a good story, would be better if it reflects the facts. Ford's operating loss was around $1.8 B through the third quarter. Toyota forcasts no profit for the second half of the current fiscal year. Not that much difference between the two.
