Default Plant tour

We did the Lexus plant tour in Cambridge today. What a great time. If you have the chance be sure to do it.

Wabamun, how long did the tour take? I almost signed up for yesterday's, but most Thursdays, when the tours run, I have time constraints. Thanks

In addition to Toyotas, Cambridge makes RX350s.

Lexus started making some but not all RXs in Canada beginning in August 2003. The VIN is the giveway, JT is Japan, 2T is Canada.

From what we have heard here in Woodstock, the Toyota plant here is gradually getting the Cambridge lines and that Cambridge will be doing more Lexus models. Rumors tho...

Any details on what you get to see? The site doesn't have much details and I don't see a trip to Canada in the near future so it would be nice to know how it was.

Lunch started at noon at Langdon Hall, http://www.langdonhall.ca/.
Great wine and food.

At 1:30 we boarded a bus for the plant, about 10 minutes away. Watched a short video, heard about the Lexus models, then headed out to the plant. Hopped on a tram and drove around the plant. Very informative tour. Short question and answer at the end, then on the bus back to Langdon Hall. All done shortly after 4.

Well worth the afternoon.
