Facing a continuously imploding US auto market, TOYOTA today announced it would postpone plans to build the Prius hybrid in Mississippi. Construction of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi (TMMMMMMMMMMS) is already underway, and will still be completed. However, no equipment will be purchased or installed, and plans to launch the Prius will be on hold until the economy brightens up. What will Toyota do with the empty building? Here are some suggestions:
1) Free housing for laid-off employees of Ford, GM, and Chrysler
2) Free housing for laid-off executives of Ford, GM, and Chrysler
3) Hold super-trendy industrial raves at $50 a head (thanks leigh). Invite robots to serve drinks and shower partiers in extremly dangrous sparks.
4) Lease it to the Obama administration, which will then use it to hold our Nation's Strategic Hope Reserves.
5) Use it to store the giant mattress holding Toyota's $40B in cash.
6) Staging area for inevitable robot invasion force/orchestra.
7) Give Toyota's girlfriend the space to set up that art studio she's always wanted.
8) Convert it to a factory that builds smaller factories.
9) Build a new country inside it--preferably one with an economy that doesn't suck.
10) Place for Toyota's friend Subaru to crash... but just until he can get back on his feet. Then he'll totally move out into his own place.
