The good news, from a Toyota Australia perspective, was the announcement that the Corolla had topped Australian sales for 2013. The first time ever, incidentally, that a Toyota product has topped annual sales here.
But there was other news from Mr Cramb that leaves a cloud over the future of Toyota’s manufacturing operations here.
Of the 106,000 Camrys and Aurions produced at Toyota’s Altona plant, nearly 70,000 are exported and sold in overseas markets - the Middle East in the main.
