Quake shaking up Japanese car production

Quake forces Toyota to halt production - Yahoo! News: "The temporary closure of auto parts maker Riken Corp.'s plant at Kashiwazaki city, near the epicenter of Monday's magnitude 6.8 quake, has forced Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Fuji Heavy Industries to scale back production."
Fuji Heavy Industries makes Subaru. Damn! This'll probably hike prices up somehow.
