Japan's southwestern region has been ravaged by a devastating earthquake, threatening to disrupt the production of new vehicles bound for the US market. Toyota and Nissan, two of Japan's largest automakers, have manufacturing plants in the region, which may be impacted by the disaster. The earthquake's destruction could result in shortages of key components, forcing the companies to temporarily halt or slow down production. As a result, US car buyers may face delays or a reduced selection of new models from these iconic Japanese brands.
