It would be amazing if the LF-A was built at that plant also. Would make sense for a $175,000+ Lexus too be built all by hand by F1 people, but that is just me.
First Lexus too be built in Germany

The plant looks quite old fashioned. I don't think McLaren employees would be envying Toyota much judging by their set up in England:

Probably not if results to date are anything to go by.

Looks like any normal factory of that kind that I've ever seen. Now the Ferrari factory, that's a site to behold.

toyota entered in 2002, and in 3 years they got podium finishes. they also did their own r&d instead of buying a team like bmw and mercedes. the change in regulations for '07 season has forced them to re-do most of their homework again.
to have only 3 years of experience in f1 and achieving podium finishes is very amazing to me, even though if it seems that toyota has unlimited resources.
