All rights reserved. Toyota's Carter: Sky isn't falling Laurence Iliff liliff@autonews.com No, the midsize family sedan isn't in free fall. It's just in a midcycle crisis. That's the view from Bob Carter, senior vice president for automotive operations at Toyota's U.S. arm. Across the segment - which includes the best-selling car in the country, the Toyota Camry - there isn't enough fresh iron to excite consumers and keep them from defecting to utility vehicles, he said. "Midsize cars, midsize sedans, haven't had a lot of product news as of late," Carter told Automotive News ahead of a meeting with dealers in Las Vegas. "Product news tends to put a shot of adrenaline into segments. We see this time and time again." A big test of that analysis will come with the Camry, which was down 8.6 percent in U.S. sales through August but is getting ready for a big overhaul and a move to Toyota's New Global Architec- $42,000 THE MINIMUM DEALERS NEED TO SPEND ON SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE THE CANADIAN-MADE SUPERCAR FORD GT F&I INSIGHT Used cars are plentiful, and consumers are latching on.

Klaus-Dieter Flörecke 3Seite 4 A STUDY OF FINE PRINT in the Trans Pacific Partnership free-trade agreement reveals an even larger threat to the health of Canada's auto supplier sector than previously feared. Provisions found in supporting documents - or "buried in an appendix to an annex," in the words of study author John Holmes - would allow automakers and parts producers to substitute parts from low-cost nations and still qualify for tariff exemptions under the trade deal. While much of the attention on the TPP has been focused on the end of duties on vehicle imports, "Our sense is that it's the regional content values on auto parts serithat poses the most seri indusous challenge to the indus try within Canada," said profesHolmes, emeritus profes sor of geography at Queen's University. Co-authored by Jeffrey RELATED FORD'S TAKE ON THE TPP Carey, a research Fellow with the Automotive Policy Research Centre at McMaster University, the study was prepared for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, an Ottawabased think tank. The wide-ranging TPP is still to be ratified by Canada and 11 Pacific Rim partners. It could face its greatest test in the United States, where Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to rip up the agreement and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton wants to see changes made before she would sign on. TPP REPLACES NAFTA When the pact was signed in November 2015, Canadian officials stressed they had been able to win higher regional content values - ranging from 35-45 per cent of a total component or vehicle - than had earlier been set out in a side deal negotiated between the United States and Japan. That was still a big drop, however, from the 62 per cent regional content requirement of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which the TPP would replace. But Holmes and Carey's analysis reveals that a long list of components, including body stampings, bumpers and axles, will be considered regional content so long as SEE APMA SAYS DON'T PAGE 13 PAGE 8 Q&A WITH DIANNE CRAIG Automobilwoche Abo-Service, D-65341 Eltville PVSt B 58301 DPAG Entgelt bezahlt 20160725-01_Titelseite.indd 1 22.07.16 16:47 North America Automotive News The go-to place for all the news that is happening among automotive retailers, suppliers and manufacturers. autonews.com China Automotive News China Everything you need to know about the world's largest car market.
