There are no magnet known to man comparable to those using rare-earths. A discovery of a comparable material would be a major scientific break-thru of the Nobel Prize winning variety. Heard about that lately.
Toyota must be really desparate as far as Rare-Earth supply goes that they are trying to bluff the Chinese like this. I flat out missed the first big run in Rare-Earths. Maybe its time to buy some neodymium-rich near-term producers for a Toyota-inspired takeover play.

Toyota has already made some early moves to emesh themselves with a rare earth junior MAT.V that is dfining a deposit of the HREEs discussed here.

I would focus on dysprosium- and terbium-rich resources in addition to neodymium.
Which cos. with HREE-rich deposits do you all like for the next, say, 18–24 months?
