NUMMI is the only auto manufacturing plant in CA and the Western United States. It's a joint venture between Toyota and GM. The plant currently produces Toyota's Corolla & Tacoma as well as Pontiac's Vibe. In the past, it manufactured the Toyota Voltz (Japanese version of the Vibe), Chevy Nova, Geo Prism and Toyota Hilux (Toyota Truck for Japan).

It's interesting to note that America's largest manufacturing business is cars and light trucks. Considering that the industry as a whole including the supply chain, is reponsible for 1 in 10 jobs in the United States, the ratio in the West is probably much lower. NUMMI is really the only player in the region.
