"Chances are always there. We've talked about that, but there's no more, "said Warih Andang Tjahjono, President Director of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) when talking with KompasOtomotif recently in South Jakarta.

According to Warih, TMMIN must first see whether the sale of medium MPV with sliding doors is consistent as it is today or it is declining. If the condition continues like this local assembled potential is large enough.

Because if the sale is little for what we have to raft again in Indonesia. Imports alone is enough, but we continue to learn, "said Warih.
