Toyota commits to making cars in Canada as U.S. rivals downsize

What happened: Toyota will start building its updated hybrid-only Lexus NX at its Cambridge, Ontario plant in December, one of three models made there. Key numbers: About 85% of output is exported, mostly to the U.S. Toyota's Ontario plants built 537,518 vehicles last year. Why it matters: The move signals Toyota's commitment to Canadian production while U.S. rivals shrink output there and Chinese competitors gain sales.
