From Chairman Mike Bullock: Welcome back today to 6 of our members who are returning to Wentzville from Fairfax and Ft. Wayne. Welcome "home".
Union meeting is this Wednesday, March 16, at 1 pm, 3 pm and 15 minutes after the longest first shift line time.
From Automotive News: The earthquake that hammered Japan on Friday stopped production at several assembly plants that export vehicles to the United States. The shutdowns could affect exports of such cars as the Toyota Yaris and Scion xB and Scion xD, as well as the Honda Fit, Accord sedan and CR-V crossover. The quake also disrupted production of Acura and Infiniti models. Toyota evacuated workers from several factories in the quake zone. Toyota has two parts plants in northern Japan and has two affiliates, Kanto Auto Works Ltd. and Central Motors Co., that assemble small cars in the region. Honda shut down two assembly plants immediately after the quake, spokesman Keitaro Yamamoto said. At Honda's r&d center in Tochigi prefecture, one person died and 30 were injured when the quake toppled a cafeteria wall. No other injuries were reported. Nissan Motor Co. also suspended factory work throughout eastern Japan. Small fires broke out at two assembly plants, including the factory producing the Infiniti M sedan and GT-R sports car. The earthquake-triggered tsunami that ravaged Japan's Pacific coast also damaged at least 2,300 Nissan and Infiniti brand vehicles awaiting shipment to U.S. and Japan showrooms. The cars -- including nearly 1,300 Infiniti M, EX and FX models bound for North America -- were parked at two coastal loading points when the giant waves swept through.
From the Detroit News: General Motors Co. will bring the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport crossover to the United States this year, but only for fleet customers. The Captiva's (think Saturn Vue with a Chevy grille) arrival will help free supplies of Chevy's popular Equinox for retail sales. Both crossovers are similar in size and get about the same fuel economy. The Captiva, a five-seat compact crossover, is already sold in 50 markets, including Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America. The U.S. version will be sold to government and company fleets, as well as car rental businesses. It will arrive in the fourth quarter, as a 2012 model, Chevrolet said Friday.
