Toyota to join the fun in Tennessee?
Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen says that Toyota is considering two Tennessee locations for its eighth North American vehicle assembly plant. The Guv says that the automaker is considering Chattanooga and Alamo, though Toyota has yet to narrow it down that far publicly. The plant will be Toyota's next investment after the Toyota truck plant opens up in San Antonio, Texas later this year and an engine plant opens up shop in Woodstock, Ontario in 2007. Though he says his state is on the short list, Bredesen says that Toyota hasn't given him a timeline for when its execs will make a decision.

Why is this fat lady singing? Toyota hasn't said anything official and this redneck is mouthing off like he's bribed someone already.

Americans building cars in America.
Just what the country needs.
But note what's missing--GREEDY UNIONS!
Now, repeat after me: Unions are parasites that ultimately kill their hosts!

iQuack, you seem to ignore tha fact that corporate bigwigs in the Big Three often make 20X more in compensation that their counterparts in foreign auto industry. Sure, they are not greedy, right?
