Does that include leftover '06's?

Poor Toyota; they'll make hardly any money at this rate. Not. They could
write off the entire $1.5 billion they spent on the Tundra plant and still
make on the order of $12 billion for the year. Not that that's possible,
they will use the factory for something else, if necessary.
