Toyota to Import Station Wagons From U.S.: Toyota Motor Corp., moving to buy more U.S.-made products, will bring in station wagons built at its plant in Kentucky and may use Ford Motor Co. parts for the first time. Starting in late August, the company said, it will import 700 station wagons a month from Toyota Motor Manufacturing U.S.A. Inc. in Georgetown, Ky. Toyota President Shoichiro Toyoda said officials of Ford’s components group will visit Toyota Motor next Wednesday to discuss parts that Ford wants to sell to Japan’s largest auto maker. Toyota said it bought General Motors parts valued at $285 million in 1991.
