Well this is sad news... Production of the Toyota Corolla is coming to an end in Cambridge, Ontario and is being moved to Baja, Mexico by 2019.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And I'm guessing this means the next generation of Corolla is coming out in 2019 as well.

Are they closing the Canadian factory down? Or will they just build something else there?

The Cambridge plant will produce "mid-sized, higher-value vehicles," the company said in a statement that did not identify the vehicles.

"Toyota will also make significant new investments over several years in [Toyota's] assembly plants in Cambridge and Woodstock, Ontario," the statement added.

While employment levels at Toyota's two Ontario plants are not expected to change, the shift underlines how Canada's competitive position in vehicle manufacturing is eroding.

They currently produce other models in Cambridge... I think the Lexus RX is produced there, if I remember correctly.
